Any one joining Argo.ai in Palo Alto?
What are your thoughts Argo.ai? Anyone joining in Palo Alto? Would like to know as I have a standing offer from them #argo # autonomousvehicles #atv
What was the offer & role?
First tell me why do you think that they will win or at least be in top three Companies in the space. If there is no reason, then your stock options are going to be shit.
For an AV company to be successful, they need buy-in form a car manufacturer who is willing to put it in their product. With out that, it is nothing but a glorified science project. As Ford has invested in it, there will be a constant push for Argo to be successful
Did you accepted offer ?
There’s already a lot of competition in this space from Waymo, Cruise (backed by GM), Uber (backed by Toyota), Tesla, list goes on and on.. what’s Argo’s advantage when all these other companies have a head start?
ArgoAI is backed by Ford and a billion dollars. They are even giving Self-Driving test rides in Miami.
Please don’t join. Heard horror stories from my colleagues who joined there. It is a badly managed company. Being in a remote office doesn’t help either.
Could you plz tell me more about horror stories?
Clueless upper management. Petty, immature middle managers in remote offices who are busy building their own empires by firing good people and replacing them with their cronies, ineffective HR, cliquish homogeneous club in Pittsburgh. Apparently they focus on demo engineering by creating videos of their amateur autonomous stack to impress Ford, who owns the majority stake (>50%) and also has a say in the company direction.
Don't listen to some people's baseless nonsense here. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hy-volkswagen-self-driving-aurora-ford-argo-ai-20190611-story.html%3foutputType=amp

Strange to find no one from Argo has inputs here.... ? Or they don't get time to blind..
How can I help you NNco88?
Help us understand how working for Argo is? WLB? Culture? Ability to learn and grow?
The work load on my team is very good in Palo Alto. Some people are parents. Theres people from google, fb, apple, Qualcomm etc.
Their logo is shit sorry. Seems like some agricultural farm.
