I did know some colleagues who went to work for large corporates in research labs - but they seemed pretty rare in the UK. Most stayed in academia or left to work in finance - and some even left to found startups (like me!).

Out of interest, what are some examples of the "research facilities" you are talking about?

IBM T.J. Watson, IBM Dublin, Oracle Labs, Google Mountain View, PARC Inc.,... there are some other ones that are more specific to HPC.
