Google's internal security was one of the best I have experienced. Everywhere else, just the broken VPN drove me nuts. Also, one discipline I have maintained across many companies is clear separation between work devices and personal devices. I don't do personal stuff on work devices. I had multiple high-privilege access enabled work devices and all of them worked just fine. Of course authentication tokens/certs had short expiry (rightly so) and I would have to re-authenticate (which was quick and painless and worked 100% reliably). I wasn't a hardware engineer, but I suppose for non-trivial test hardware setups I would be required to work out of a on-premise device lab. For flashing android mobile devices, I could easily do that from my work laptop.
