Pros

The office is great, good location, snacks, free barista grade coffee and very central. The people are friendly and supportive. Work is interesting, and there is a good level of trust.

Cons

Company direction has changed a few times, but it does seem like this has solidified now.

Pros

- a few excellent people in the rank and file who haven't left yet. - learn from anti patterns of leadership

Cons

- a toxic old boys club at the top full of hubris. Never seen such toxic management style in 20 years of startups, people leave meetings in tears and burn out every month - a few experts in semiconductors (and showing off ferraris before firing people) but little AI expertise left. Too much arrogance to be willing to understand modern AI directions - no diversity left after last year's redundancies. Women and non-brits are leaving disproportionately

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you been left with a negative impression of Graphcore. The experience that you report is very different than we hear from the vast majority of employees. In fact, Graphcore has been very focused on modern AI directions – especially the growing demand for AI compute services in the cloud. Many of the changes that have taken place over the past year have been in direct response to this evolving landscape – and to ensure that we are well positioned to take advantage of that growing opportunity. The shape of our teams has changed accordingly, and we understand that this may have been a difficult period for some employees. However, we hope you would agree that the current direction is the right one, has been well communicated and that we are well placed to be a leading player in this exciting industry.
