Pros

- Awesome place for your first job if you are inclined to stay in the hardware device drivers domain - You can interact with top employees of NVidia across the world, learning tons from them in the process. - Top-notch code base, and the code review process is very rigorous, thus helping you hone your skills.

Cons

- Pretty easy to get stagnated in the same role after about 2 years - Managers in Pune are not tech-savvy in general, and would go with the prevailing opinion of their superiors instead of basing decisions on technical details. - To get any meaningful work done, you'd have to work in the same time zone as the HW/SW engineers in Santa Clara, but would still be expected to be seen in office during day time.

Pros

The product security organization has a very ideal work-life balance. The culture is strong on ownership and trust. There is a good sense of pride and collaboration across teams with low level of politics and high sense of "the project is the boss". Compensation is good for the roles. Merit increases and promotions are mostly transparent, but can vary from manager to manager.

Cons

Leadership direction can be whiplash at some times. Some initiatives feel directionless, while others feel misguided. Leadership does respond to push back and listens to employees though, but it often feels like managing up.
