      Great place to work

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are hundreds of engineers working on a variety of hard technical challenges at DeepMind spanning compilers, accelerators (e.g. GPUs), distributed systems, production services, SRE and more. DeepMind does not require AI/ML knowledge for Software Engineering roles and you can have a lot of impact on ML research projects as a pure SWE at DeepMind.

      Cons

      There are so many interesting and exciting things to work on that sometimes it is hard to switch off. Having such brilliant colleagues can exacerbate feelings of imposter syndrome. Luckily DeepMind has great opportunities to learn, grow and an established feedback culture to help direct you. The interview process is tough.

      Great collaborative environment + lots of interesting technical challenges

      Staff software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Incredibly collaborative and positive environment - Lots of interesting engineering problems to tackle - Opportunities to collaborate closely with research - Substantial freedom to gravitate towards the problems that interest you more - No micromanagement - Fairly light bureaucracy - docs and presentations are very important but fairly informal - Not subject to "commercial" deadlines - you can typically work until something is ready, within reason - Hard work (and perhaps also overwork) is rewarded but there is a lot of respect of work-life balance; the company's behaviour and understanding during the pandemic has been nothing short than stellar so far

      Cons

      - Having lots of smart and effective coworkers can sometimes take an emotional toll if you are prone to self-doubt - Losing a bit of the startuppy vibes from a few years ago, although perhaps inevitable after years of huge growth - Dealing with internal Google infra is super-interesting but at times frustrating (as it's designed with complicated billion-users use cases in mind, not really supporting run-and-forget research stuff)

      It really is the best place to work!

      Operations

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      DeepMind really is a unique place to work. Our 'be kind' value really stands out and it's wonderful to work with colleagues who love to come to work each day. Everyone across the organisation, no matter what role, is passionate about what they do.

      Cons

      There aren't any worth noting.
