Bottom Line
Crusoe
Choose Crusoe if you want AI infrastructure with a genuine clean-energy mission and strong equity — but expect startup chaos and long hours as the company scales rapidly.
incident.io
Exceptional culture (4.5 stars) with genuine values, great benefits including 10% pension match, and kind colleagues — but London-centric with some layoff scars from 2024.
