Google - Madison, WI. Sorry, no remote work, but Google does sponsor visas. All levels of experience welcome. We've recently hired an ACM fellow, as well as a new college grad. Of course Google is hiring. So, why I posting this? Every time I tell someone I'm working at Google in Madison, they're shocked that there's an office in Madison, and I often hear people complaining about the lack of interesting technical work…

Does Google-Madison stack-rank like the rest of Google?

No, one tiny office has a completely different set of HR policies.

Our mission is to make internet business personal. We think the current sate of customer communications tools is a mess—a bunch of disjoint tools designed to reduce human contact, encouraging massively impersonal customer experiences. We're building one, simple platform for all web and mobile businesses to connect with their customers. Thousands of companies have replaced customer support, email marketing, CRM, marketing automation tools with our product. We have raised $7.75MM to-date. We have extremely solid revenue and revenue growth. We have amazing team of ex. Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon engineers and designers. We think we can be a very, very valuable, and impactful business. We love talented, big-thinking, happy and creative people. We hate short-term thinkers, self-promoters, big egos.

Why is Microsoft all over the blogosphere for stack ranking, but I know dozens of Google folk and this is the first I've heard of it at Google?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How the hell do you build hardware remotely?

If you're doing firmware/software people can just mail you devkits, proto boards.

devkits and proto boards do have bugs, especially during the early iterations. There are many occasions that I (firmware engineer) need to sit down with FPGA/Hardware engineers to figure out why the system is not performing as designed, sometimes it is firmware issue, sometimes it is hardware, and it was the combination of firmware/hardware and ambient temperature!! It is way more ineffective to perform this kind of debugging with someone in a remote site.
