Pros

* Very open culture -- if you see a problem, you're encouraged to fix it, and will be appreciated instead of chided for stepping on toes. * Work with the leaders, historically and de facto, in the RISC-V Ecosystem * Excellent remote work culture. Team is spread across the globe and works well together with distributed tools, although the in-person office spaces are also very nice. * People are hired for their willingness to learn new things and do things differently, not just turning the crank on "how we did it at my old job", though employees bring a wealth of experience from the industry.

Cons

* Peer pressure to work all the time (not exactly long hours but more 'respond to this message at 3am' / Sunday afternoon) due to distributed nature of the team * Leadership Team loves to take on challenges, which can be adrenaline-pumping until it's exhausting.

Pros

a) Challenging environment: as a technologist, this is one of the most exciting places I have ever worked. The problems being addressed are big and solutions demanded are creative and exciting. b) Fantastic team mates and management: You are working with some of the brightest minds in the industry. It is not just that they are extremely smart but starting with the founders, they have a superbly positive attitude, demanding yet willing to listen. They are technologists and hence can understand your problems and work with you, not just manage by spreadsheets. c) It is fantastic to work in a company that has high visibility and seen as a shaker and mover in the industry.

Cons

SiFive competes with the Giants of the industry. The pressure never lets up because we are going against companies that are dominating in the field.
