Amazon must have nearly 400 R&D people in Toronto now. Probably 300 when I left. I was always involved in recruiting and Amazon hires the best from all over the world and probably over 70% of the engineers were from Waterloo and the new comers are mostly from Europe, plus we got a few returning from US Amazon as well. There is always some who wanted to move to Seattle after 3-4 years but the number is like 1 in 15..
