Does anyone know about work culture at Intel AI group of Nervana? Stressful or not? How does it compare to AI work at other competitors or Facebook?
Depends on team (deep learning software? Data science? HW?). Intel culture is not stressful in general, including Intel AI. It mostly depends on your personality, are you okay cruising or are you the kind of guy/gal that can't rest until you do it right? Hard to sit idle , watch your team fight a losing battle ;)
I heard from others that Intel Ai is different than rest of intel because it's still run like startup Nervana. How was your experience? SW/HW/data?
It was. It is now slowly becoming "Intel". I'm sure you heard of One API (Google it if not), similarly there is push for "One Intel". If you are looking for advice: don't join HW companies if you are after TC, or future growth/opportunities (in SW/data science, even in HW!). Future is converging on cloud providers(AWS/msft/Google), they have their own HW efforts.
I heard that even then it's still chaotic group. Lots of attrition.
Intel AI is not even comparable with FB or Nvidia; it’s a joke and dooms for failure. Seriously, have you seen Intel achieved anything besides x86?
Hopefully you didn't join. You might have seen that nervana lineup is now canceled
Intel AI doesn't have any competition..
It means it's good or bad?
Bad of course
