We are pausing upcoming Chrome and Chrome OS releases

There are a lot of obstacles for temps/contractors to gain remote access at google. I'd imagine a lot of testing is done by people who aren't FTEs.

disclaimer: I am a Googler, but know nothing about how the Chrome team operates

I thought that Google were all-in on BeyondCorp, which doesn't require a secure perimetre. Did they not actually convert everything, or is it still in progress?

(edit: removed a non-constructive suggestion)

BeyondCorp gives you basic access to unprotected things on the network (intranet, google apps, etc), but not to secure systems, source code, etc.

Out of curiosity, how does that work? VPN? Remote desktop? Both?

One man’s obstacle is another man’s security measure :)

I used to work in Techstop, I wonder how crazy of a time that team is having right now. But I wouldn’t call them an obstacle.

Techstop and CorpEng have been absolutely amazing through this situation -- I wish them them the best.
