Graphcore is an amazing company to work in. The IPU is a cutting-edge chip that has made me learn a lot about ML, compilation, hardware, optimizations... The company fosters collaboration and everyone is ready to help, so I've really enjoyed learning more about all these fields. I'd really recommend Graphcore to anyone wanting to apply ML to a real product that will have an impact in customer companies across many sectors.
Cons
It's not a disadvantage for me, but most teams are geographically distributed, so you can expect freedom to work from home and a lot of zoom meetings.
Informal culture
Fun people
Very clever people to work with and learn from
Very technical
CEO is approachable, good and no BS
Projects are interesting
Product is promising
Good work life balance
Startup/scale up vibe
Opportunities to work remotely and move abroad
Cons
Salary could be higher
Product is not mainstream yet
Needs to employ more women and people of colour
