Exciting, Flexible Company

Pros

* Extremely exciting products and customer-base. Proud to work for such a great company. There are very few opportunities to join such an influential company that will be, and already is, changing the world. * Working with global colleagues who are genuinely as excited and passionate about SiFive as you are, and who are committed to making it a success is a breath of fresh air. * The flexibility of the true hybrid working model is refreshing and enables you to be a great employee, but not at the expense of your commitments outside of work. * The modus operandi is that you and your abilities are truly believed in and you are trusted to get the job done. * The culture is pretty informal and the hierarchy is fairly flat. The best idea wins; it doesn't matter what your job title is (or isn't). * The general standard of work is high. There aren't many big egos, despite a lot of fantastic work going on.

Cons

* It's a (maturing) start-up so, some processes you might expect to have in place are missing (but others processes are slick and impressive). Although, this provides a great opportunity to take ownership of and do things you might not ordinarily have the chance to.

Pros

- Fast paced, engineering focused, bleeding edge oriented environment - Pleasant work culture, opinions are always heard - The technology is AWESOME! The RISC-V architecture is the future. - Openness, collaboration and willing to work with open source RISC-V oriented communities is encouraged - Payscales are very competitive - Offices are great! Free goodies, even beer!

Cons

- It's a startup environment so there is a need to move fast which may not be everyone's cup of tea - There really isn't anything that I can think of as a serious con

Pros

Great health-care benifits, cool co-workers, unlimited vacation days.

Cons

There is no worklife balance, terrible communication from executives, unrealistic work-load, managers are VERY self-absorbed. Abusive work enviroment (I've seen 3 out of 4 admin cry at their desk or in hallway).
