Pros

Really smart, very kind people. Great projects! Beautiful office with a view and cool amenities. Burke-Gilman trail is just across the street! Everyone genuinely cares, appreciates and respects each other.

Cons

Wallingford can be hard to get to regardless of where you live in the area. It's worth it once you get there! Local lunch options are limited, but the company helps with options and bringing a lunch isn't too bad.

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.
