I'm confused - isn't a contractor (Tuike Finland) doing and being responsible for this work?

Google has a lot of subsidiaries all over the world that are very clearly NOT Google and never mind the fact that we only have one shareholder, whose name we unfortunately can not divulge. Employees are told on day one that they are NOT working for Google. They can never say they are working for Google, and they can't put that on their resume either. Google is to be referred to as 'the Customer'.

Tuike Finland is not a contractor. It's a Google subsidiary. Tuike Finland also has the auxiliary com­pany na­me of "Google Technology Finland". Their official place of business is Ensontie 1, 49420 Hamina.

Notably, this is the address of Google Hamina Campus.

Thank you, that clears it up that it's indeed still Google. Oh, it's even said in the article.
