Pros

Interesting, intelligent group of people that are a pleasure to work with! Management (including the CEO) are easily accessible and are genuinely interested in employees’ well-being. The company size allows for a personalized work environment, and the office itself is comfortable and modern, with gorgeous views of Lake Union and the Seattle skyline.

Cons

Minor con - there aren’t any restaurants or cafes nearby; most are solid 15 min walk away. But, lunch is catered 3x a week, and the kitchen is stocked with a huge variety of snacks. Plus, being slightly removed from the heart of Fremont comes with a big perk - convenient, free parking.

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.
