We’re sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience at Graphcore. While there is not necessarily a lot of detail to respond to, this is obviously not the impression of Graphcore that we would want you to have. We work hard to make Graphcore an open and transparent workplace where strategy and progress is shared with everyone. We believe that there is a bright future for the company and its employees – Graphcore remains the leading challenger in the exciting AI compute space. We have invested heavily in supporting managers (even throughout the pandemic) in the development of leadership skills and put in place processes where colleagues can regularly give feedback on their managers, as well as evaluating their own performance.

Utterly toxic at the top

Business Outlook

Pros

Superb, brilliantly talented rank and file.

Cons

Truly toxic at the highest level in a way I have never seen before( and I spent 5 yrs in Silicon Valley). Some people at the very highest level have positions based on personal relationships, not somptency and all that that leads to. some truly deranged people at VP level who have no idea or experience in what their work entails.
