What People Are Saying About Graphcore
-
Innovation & Products: Work centers on custom IPU accelerators and a full software stack (e.g., Poplar, operators, cluster tooling), offering complex, hands-on systems problems many find rewarding. Ongoing development across performance and integration (such as Kubernetes/Slurm) reinforces a strong technical mission.
-
Team Support: Colleagues are often described as friendly, approachable, and collaborative within non‑hierarchical teams, with internal mobility and knowledge‑sharing groups fostering a supportive environment. Social communities and inclusive initiatives further reinforce a sense of belonging across sites.
-
Work-Life Balance: Flexible and hybrid working norms, trust‑based time off, and accommodation for personal needs (like appointments or school runs) are emphasized. These practices contribute to a generally relaxed atmosphere relative to the intensity of the work.
