Argo AI

Anyone have experience with Argo? Considering an offer from them, it’s very competitive. 210 base / 15% bonus / good amount of equity Ford had made a big bet on them so seems to have a reasonable shot at success

How much equity?

Palantir chasm OP Jan 31, 2018

Hard to put a number on it because it’s profit interest rather than stock options. And the valuation is not public or really meaningful since there is no revenue yet, just ford investment. But by my math is is comparable to ~800k of illiquid stock

Is this offer on Bay Area or in Pittsburgh? The base and bonus is pretty good; adds up to 240K. Do they have 401K match? Their equity will be really hard to judge at this point. BTW, what’s your background; any specific domain expertise?

Palantir chasm OP Feb 1, 2018

I didn’t have specific AI expertise. More of a generalist with a focus in distributed systems / scalable storage. But the position I’m being hired for is related to data infrastructure, not robotics

How is the interview like, typical software engineer interview in the valley?

Palantir chasm OP Feb 1, 2018

Yeah pretty typical

Palantir chasm OP Feb 1, 2018

Bay Area. And yes I think there is some 401k match

What's your decision on that? You move or not?

Palantir chasm OP Feb 1, 2018

Still considering it
