Pros

Much to discuss here: - challenging problems - mission driven - truly feel like my work can have an impact - interesting people - intelligent, friendly, collaborative - superb benefits - great location on the water - expectations for groundbreaking science - access to all levels of the organization - lots of food snacks (catered lunch 3x/wk)

Cons

Not much here. Stress level is occasionally both in terms of work load and timelines/expectations, but that is also what makes it challenging.

Pros

Excellent work/life balance, decent pay, free snacks

Cons

Look for what *meaningful* projects and research have come out of Ai2 in the last two years. They used to be research and academia focused and made AI for the common good a priority. When they changed CEOs they became product focused and went all-in on LLMs. Internally their structure is extremely disorganized and chaotic and they're quietly laying people off. They have a few projects, like EarthRanger, that have a measurable impact in the world but EarthRanger didn't originate in Ai2 and doesn't utilize AI.
