If typical G standards apply, the dogs must complete studies to Masters or Doctoral level at a recognized Institution of Higher Canine Behavioural Learning. In addition to remaining thoughtfully and respectfully quiet during working hours, they must respond unerringly to the commands, "Come", "Sit", "Heel", "Lie down", "Roll over", "Fetch", "Parse", "De-duplicate", "Canonicalize", and "Rank".

If that dog needs a new home, I'd take him -- Cute and probably knows a few things about the algorithm. Are canine NDAs binding?

I hope they can maintain their atmosphere of "fun" in the face of being a publically-held company. It sure looks better than working in today's typical corporate world, where privacy is nil, individualism is suppressed, and if you don't walk around looking grim, they think you're unintelligent or insufficiently serious about work - Paah!
