If I had to choose one word to describe the culture at KRAFTON AI, it is “open”. Everyone has an open mind and is always willing to listen to new ideas, no matter where they come from. People treat each other with a lot of respect and value each other’s ideas. Everyone is enthusiastic and motivated about working and extremely passionate about what they do. It is truly inspiring. I think KRAFTON AI is best suited for people who are passionate about research and want to improve their own knowledge and skills while contributing to cutting edge deep learning research.

"The members at KRAFTON AI were mentors, colleagues, and friends that I will never forget. Every single team member is an expert in their field and always shares their knowledge with other team members. This allowed me to constantly learn from my colleagues. Additionally, we always approached problem-solving in a horizontal and evidence/logic-based manner, discussing with team members to get closer to solutions. Through various team-building activities, including workshops that I will never forget, we got to know and rely on each other. The environment at KRAFTON AI offers anyone the opportunity to bring about change. One of the most important things in the current deep learning research trend is computing resources like GPUs, and having a lot of resources allowed me to immerse myself in my research. Also, as I mentioned earlier, having colleagues I could have discussions with at any time thanks to the horizontal structure allowed me to express my ideas at any time, and those ideas often got implemented. I would like to recommend KRAFTON AI to people who are passionate about deep learning and want to bring about changes in the world through it, and want to conduct projects in line with deep learning trends and build their careers."

Although it was a relatively short period, my time spent at KRAFTON AI will be a positively memorable experience for a long time. What I appreciated most during my time there was the culture of mutual respect and support among team members. Thanks to this, I witnessed multiple instances where brilliant ideas not only sparked encouragement but were also actively integrated into the actual processes. Despite the department's size, it left a strong impression on me that we were able to achieve outstanding results in such a self-directed and autonomous atmosphere. Regular meetings allowed us to stay well-informed about each other's tasks, and everyone approached projects that demanded both high-level deep learning research and practical applications with enthusiasm and efficiency. The working environment, be it PCs, laptops, or the various spaces like cafes, restaurants, lounges, and meeting rooms, was also highly satisfactory. The excellent environment served as both a consideration for the well-being of KRAFTON team members and a conducive atmosphere for maximum focus on our work. Hearing from others, I could sense immense satisfaction with the company, department, and the people, along with a strong sense of pride in working here. If you ever have the opportunity to work at KRAFTON AI, I strongly recommend not hesitating to apply!

My experience at KRAFTON AI has personally enhanced my research capabilities significantly. When I joined the company, I was pleasantly surprised by the horizontal and open atmosphere at KRAFTON AI. Particularly, the opportunity to work alongside outstanding experts in various fields, where I could seek guidance and ask questions at any time, whether during research, mealtime, or coffee breaks, left a lasting impression on me. As someone who majored in pure mathematics, most aspects of deep learning were unfamiliar to me initially. However, through weekly research meetings, I quickly grasped the fundamentals of machine learning and tackled complex technical issues, which allowed for substantial growth. I was also impressed by KRAFTON's Research Team, which supports theoretical research across various domains, much like global giants such as Google or Amazon. I highly recommend KRAFTON AI to those with a strong desire to pursue top-notch research in a free-spirited environment. I believe it's an exceptional organization where personal growth aligns with company growth. Whether you have a wealth of knowledge and expertise in machine learning or, like myself, a strong foundation in theoretical aspects, I am confident that you can experience significant growth within the company.

In my opinion, KRAFTON AI is an organization where every member is self-motivated. The mutual respect, kindness, and passion for research among its members have led to significant synergistic effects. There are regular, free-flowing discussions on research topics and high-level feedback in daily interactions. As a result, I have been able to develop research ideas quickly and naturally. Furthermore, despite the potential challenges in paper writing, the excellent welfare and the abundant support provided have created an environment where I could concentrate solely on papers, which has been immensely helpful. The papers produced in this environment were submitted to ICLR, a top-tier conference in machine learning. Throughout my internship, I felt I was growing every day, learning how to think and collaborate from my exceptional colleagues. This research internship at KRAFTON AI is likely to be one of the most precious experiences of my graduate studies. I strongly recommend it to everyone!

My internship at KRAFTON’s Deep Learning Division was one of the most meaningful and memorable experiences of my graduate studies. Above all, I found the open and collaborative research culture to be the greatest advantage. The environment encouraged seamless idea exchange with experts across various domains, including Vision, Language, and Speech. This greatly helped me refine my research direction. I was not only given sharp and constructive feedback but also actively supported in exploring and experimenting with creative research ideas, allowing me to continuously try new approaches. Moreover, the members of KRAFTON’s Deep Learning Division were actively bridging the gap between research and industry. Rather than limiting AI research to academic papers, they focused on real-world applications by integrating AI models into actual games. This hands-on experience allowed me to witness how research outcomes translate into industry impact. As a graduate student, it was incredibly valuable to experience the fast-paced process of transforming ideas into tangible products and services. Seeing research lead to real-world value was a great source of motivation. Most importantly, KRAFTON’s Deep Learning Division fosters a culture of mutual respect and support.
