Pros

The best reason to work here is (was) the people

Cons

The best people are all leaving and the company isn't trying to fix their problems. Leadership is just keeping the lights on until they can cash out

Firstly, we’re glad to hear that you valued the colleagues you had at Graphcore –it is one of the things that makes our company special. We’re sorry that you’ve been left with some negative feelings about Graphcore and its direction. This is a really exciting time in AI compute with huge opportunities for us. AI is a fast-evolving field and ensuring that the Graphcore is positioned to address those opportunities has meant change – including the departure of some valued colleagues and friends. Be assured that we are in it for the long-run and the company is focused on the right priorities. We wish you well and hope the experiences that you had at Graphcore will serve you well in your continuing career.
