There was a news going around late last year but recently android security director joined nest, so what to make of that ?
How integrated is Nest with Google proper (especially post Google-hardware reorg)? Do the levels map similarly? Are the compensation bands similar? How's the mobility between Nest and Google hardware?
Prior to Nest being integrated under the Google Hardware division, I heard that there was very little mobility from Nest to other Google teams because it was thought of as a different company. I have an offer from Google and am wondering if joining Nest would be limiting in some way? Also, how has N...Read more

Joining in a few weeks (waiting for the aug end stock vest at MS) wondering what are the discounts for employees on Google hardware - pixel phones, pixel books, home/nest? Thanks!
A Google recruiter recently reached out to me for opportunities in consumer hardware but for a software position e.g. Nest, Google Home, Pixel etc. How is the work in this group. Is it mostly low level embedded kind of work?

People often need to see products in their face for them to get the full picture. Why would someone choose a Pixel over iPhone if they c...Read more
