Pros

- Many brilliant people - Innovative products - Leader in so many spaces, it's inspiring - Awesome stock options

Cons

- Many people have serious egos about them, and/or are long-time NVIDIANs that are stuck in their ways - If Jensen says "jump", everyone says "how high"; this would make sense if everyone could read his mind, but unfortunately, there is constant misunderstanding of what his intentions are and people use every change in direction as an opportunity to be lazy or spew what their belief of Jensen's message was, even if they are not accurate. And, too many people are too afraid to ask for clarity - Extreme silos across orgs and teams. This leads to many inefficiencies and misalignment

Pros

Technical excellence and engineering rigor – Working alongside some of the smartest engineers in the industry. Code reviews, architecture discussions, and performance optimization were taken seriously. Cutting-edge technology – Unparalleled exposure to GPUs, CUDA, AI infrastructure, and low-level systems programming. Truly a place where you can work on problems that define the next decade of computing. Impact – Your work ships in products used by millions of gamers, researchers, and data centers worldwide. That visibility is rare and rewarding. Leadership in AI/ML – NVIDIA is not just riding the AI wave; it’s enabling it. Being at the center of that as an engineer was professionally transformative. Compensation – Competitive salary + RSUs that have appreciated significantly over time. The financial upside for long-term employees has been substantial.

Cons

Internal mobility – Moving between teams (e.g., from automotive to gaming) was harder than promised. Managers sometimes blocked transfers.
