Facebook on Thursday announced the opening of its first engineering office in Boston, Mass., not far from where Mark Zuckerberg started the social network from his Harvard dorm room
The Boston office is Facebook’s fifth engineering office worldwide, joining Seattle, London, New York, and of course, Facebook’s headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif. The Boston-based engineering team will consist of employees currently working remotely in Boston, as well as engineers the company recently hired. A Facebook spokesperson declined to comment on the number of employees that will work in the office.
