There is still amazing people to work with and very interesting projects. However, budget in projects is very dull and depends how well the project leads convince management for a chunk of the cake. The company offers great benefits (healthcare, etc).
Politics and poor execution are killing the company. Too many people likes to talk and present slides. Minimal budget is hard to achieve for a project. In research we don’t have access to any hardware for doing AI, and we don’t have access to data. Barely any travel is allowed and the company is reluctant to progress and AI. Old management that is not open to listen or to progress. Too much investment is going to factories that are just losing money. Stock bonuses are down by 40% in the past three years, heavily reducing TC. The bonuses given are also shrinking by the same amount such as the company is paying less with the expectation that stock will rise. The opposite is happening.
With Intel majority owner. Stock will look niiiiccceee tomorrow ( for a change...)

Intel bought barefoot network for undisclosed amount, I own barefoot network pre-IPO stock. How this will work ?
1. Layoffs in Oct/Nov. Not too big but not too small as well 2. Within 6 months Intel either stops or cuts the dividend 3. Mobileye IPO turns into a disaster 4. Intel spins off fab 5. All of these things will drive INTC to $15 or less. What do you guys think? I didn’t add GPU or Server release...Read more

28b $177 RSU price I do understand that the word pre-IPO itself is tempting. Maybe that’s why lots of people think it is great. But is it guaranteed to go up after IPO? It seems everyone thinks it will be same as snow. I’m pretty new to investment and just curious why the similar company’s IPO ma...Read more
Getting pinged by TikTok for DS roles in the US. But I’m worried about how far back the IPO could get pushed and whether it will be a pain to eventually manage RSUs from the US. Love to hear if any TikTok employees have any intel!
Startups like Cerebras, Graphcore, SambaNova, Tenstorrent, Intel Habana etc. have been working for 3+ years to get chips to the market. AFAIK, none had a large success other than small deployments. Habana has a non-public instance type in AWS. Now the easy VC money is gone due to the Fed. The start...Read more

With valuations taking a hit across pre-ipo companies (and companies in general), is this factored in for Ramp, or are offers still based on the ATH? Is this a bad time to join Vs a public company that’s seeing a big dip in stock price? Are Ramp offers making up for it with higher stock grants? Is c...Read more

There is a huge gap in pay between FAANG, unicorns that recruit from FAANG, and everybody else. At the same time, so so many people want to work for FAANG that they have to reject many good engineers. Therefore I see a discontinuity in the supply and demand of labor for FAANG and yet these companies...Read more
