Bottom Line
Cerebras Systems
Choose Cerebras if you want to work on wafer-scale AI chips with collaborative mentorship and autonomy — but expect aggressive timelines driven from the top and recent organizational instability post-IPO.
n8n
One of the highest-rated companies on the list (4.5 Glassdoor, 90% recommend) — genuinely remote-first, async, transparent, and OSS-driven. Small headcount means limited specialization but broad ownership and real impact.
