Interesting work at the time Good food when served Nice colleagues
Leadership set the course for the demise of the company.
So Argo is shutting down. Rightly so. Ford and other automakers who are not into delusion of full self driving realizing this can’t continue like this anymore. I am just curious what is happening to the stock options of employees who worked at Argo AI? There isn’t any IPO or acquisition. It’s a shu...Read more
I currently have an offer from Argo for a SWE II position and I find the stock grant size abnormally large, even discounting down the valuation from $20B to $12.7B. What are some median/large grants Argo gives out, and what’s the catch here? Current TC 250 Edit: 4YOE Edit 2: 195 base, 15% target b...Read more
Hello, I'm getting 800k AIU from Argo AI at 20B valuation. Any idea how many stock it would get converted to if the company goes public with the current valuation ( ~12.4B) ? thanks #argoai #aiu #acceleratedincentiveunit #llc
offers: Argo AI: 230k base, 200k/yr stock, 25k joining bonus, 35k bonus/year Robinhood L3: 220k base, 185k/yr stock, 50k joining bonus, 22k bonus/year Nvidia IC5 (AV team): 250k base, 150k/yr stock + 30k refresher/yr + ?? joining bonus cons: Argo AI: stock value might drop post ipo (no revenue)...Read more
I am planning to join Argo AI. Is there a talk within the company to reevaluate those 20B offers? Stock market and growth stock valuations are miserable now. I mean I rally like to prospects of Argo AI, but it is probably valued at 7-8B now realistically.
Which one should I join? Argo AI: 230k base, 200k/yr stock, 25k joining bonus, 35k bonus/year Robinhood: 220k base, 185k/yr stock, 50k joining bonus, 22k bonus/year My fear is Argo AI’s stocks might tank post-ipo: they don’t have revenue to show. TC: 390k yoe: 10 location: SF bay area
Seems like a lot of companies are hopping on the bandwagon since Argo AI, Twitter, Lyft and Stripe just had significant layoffs. Stock has also dropped by 45% so perhaps there's pressure to cut further. https://finance.yahoo.com/video/twilio-cut-costs-rightsizing-workforce-195928519.html TC: 575K,...Read more
We all know Argo AI shut down. They were one of the good guys in the industry. But I am disappointed to see how it played out. First and foremost, Self driving was always a scam from Silicon Valley last whole decade. AI is no where near solving this not happening anytime sooner or even a decade....Read more
I have interviews coming up with Argo AI. Seems like a good late-stage/pre-ipo startup to work for. My questions are - 1. If they are going public next year, is it too late to join and reap the benefits of stock appreciation? 2. How is the culture overall? I am interviewing for the Embedded Softwa...Read more

Recently completed interviews from Argo AI and things seemed to have gone well (Tech role), might expect an offer soon.

It's long past time for us to move past the outdated FAANG acronym as there are literally dozens of companies consistently paying $300k+ in liquid comp to newly hired software engineers with 5 years of experience or less. We need a new acronym that captures all of them. Post your new acronym below!...Read more
I no longer work at Argo AI and work at one of the big tech companies. I have been there for about 5 months and my first stock vest is not until October 2022. Not to go into too much details, the job wasn’t what I expected and I am bored and unmotivated. I much prefer the working at a startup that ...Read more
