Pros

* Extremely exciting products and customer-base. Proud to work for such a great company. There are very few opportunities to join such an influential company that will be, and already is, changing the world. * Working with global colleagues who are genuinely as excited and passionate about SiFive as you are, and who are committed to making it a success is a breath of fresh air. * The flexibility of the true hybrid working model is refreshing and enables you to be a great employee, but not at the expense of your commitments outside of work. * The modus operandi is that you and your abilities are truly believed in and you are trusted to get the job done. * The culture is pretty informal and the hierarchy is fairly flat. The best idea wins; it doesn't matter what your job title is (or isn't). * The general standard of work is high. There aren't many big egos, despite a lot of fantastic work going on.

Cons

* It's a (maturing) start-up so, some processes you might expect to have in place are missing (but others processes are slick and impressive). Although, this provides a great opportunity to take ownership of and do things you might not ordinarily have the chance to.

Pros

The technologies being developed are great, and the folks behind them even greater. People are professional yet it still has that startup feel. I don't feel there are any silos between different teams. Most of my colleagues are incredibly smart and cool people. Executive updates are open and thorough.

Cons

Deadlines are too often pushed back. Executive updates look to be scheduled randomly. A few people don't follow basic engineering practices.
