Pros

Nvidia does not have any pros.

Cons

Indian management is dummy. All is controlled by there bosses in US. The management does not have a spine to speak over an issue. Apart from that you spend your precious time while installing the OS over and over again. Most of the occasion you work on bugs. Soon you will forget whatever you learnt in your college. Very few company which work in the domain in which nvidia is working. It is difficult to switch job if you stick there for too long. You can join nvidia if you are very innovative about how to kill your time.

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.
