This was my main deciding factor.

I did a 6 month field rotation at my first job, so I got to go see the products in a bunch of different environments, which was very cool. The literal "coolest" was in Appleton, WI in February. Had to borrow a block heater in the morning to get the rental RAV4 started... The best was ft Lauderdale, FL a couple weeks later, and only being allowed on site from 5-10pm meant a lot of beach time!

We also had some panels installed in the high freq trading server room at a large bank. Anytime I worked in the room, I was always escorted by armed security and a senior IT person, to make sure I didn't break the money printing machines.

Aye

Yeah, it was definitely nerve wracking. Their IT was quite annoyed as well, because they apparently tried to keep them in separate rooms for this exact reason.

Your cat has exceptional taste in names.
