Here's a hastily assembled short list of Austin tech employers based on number of local employees.
Dell- 13,000
IBM- 6,000
Apple- 6,000
Oracle- 4,200 and still hiring and expanding campus in spite of HQ move to Nashville
Samsung- 4,500 and growing rapidly with new fab in Taylor
AMD- 2,500
Applied Materials 2,400
Intel- 2,000
Google- 1,500 and so far refusing to put a new and completely empty 700,000 square foot downtown office tower on the sublease market indicating what?? Who knows?
Meta- 1,200 with a new huge empty downtown office building on sublease market
Cisco Systems- 1,200
TikTok/ByteDance- approx 1,000 and hiring
Indeed- 1,600
I'm sure I've left another dozen or so off this list who employ anywhere between a few hundred to well over a thousand local employees. These companies include Microsoft, Cirrus Logic, Adobe, WP Engine, National Instruments, etc. Austin is either HQ or a major branch office for a whole lot of tech related employers including a fair share of start-ups.
Intentionally left Tesla and Amazon off list although both employee many thousands locally. The 20,000 plus Tesla jobs are mosty manufacturing, and Amazon doesn't break down roles for their 7,000 or so local employees. I suspect most of them are related to distribution centers and delivery.
