What's the Company Culture Like at Graphcore?

Graphcore Employee Reviews

Graphcore is. a truly innovative company. It's got a buzz. We've got exciting technology and it's a brilliant company to work for. I love the engineering challenges we go through to get the product out. I have a condition where I have to sometimes go to the hospital for appointments - I don't have to book time off for this. I can just take off the time and make it up.
