Pros

- pytorch-lightning the open source framework. -

Cons

Work culture is really toxic. Product managers are clueless. If you have an offer just be prepared to be either let go or burned out if things do not work out.

Pros

Strong involvement in the ML open source community with PyTorch Lightning and collaborations with big tech giants and startups.

Cons

There is confusion about the roadmap within the product team and uncertainty among the team about what's going to happen. Not a huge fan of the founder and his way of going about things.
