I thought you were being unimaginably rude until I went to the page and saw that there were actual dogs listed.

I __think__ they mean physical security (as in, Guard Dogs), rather than their Software Security team.

Still, the optics aren't good.

The optics are fine. It's a cutesy "about us" page.
Wow. For a platform that struggles with security, listing a security team entirely composed of dogs comes across as the equivalent of "I drive better drunk!". One has to wonder whether it was intended as a joke or as a dismissal, and in both cases it evidences an alarming attitude towards a very serious problem.

EDIT: If there were humans on that team in addition to the dogs, I'd not be nearly so upset.

Well professionally I'd like a human photo. If this were a shy photo, I would hope for not a cute puppy photo, but a human animated icon. There is a bit I called professional prsentation vs being cute, but this is a startup and it's someone else's company.
or you could just accept that this a cute way to present the office dog, and get on with your life...
