Pros

Very open culture, people open to suggestions from even new college graduates, always ready to discuss ideas. I had opportunity to work with some of the best people at Bangalore. I received some tasks with clear goal and appropriate guidance. I could go bug my lead from time to time to get feedback and help, and made really good progress in little time resulting in lot of confidence boost .. I joined with very little real world skills (no perl/shell scripting, not much programming or verilog) soon was able to ramp up on most of things because of interesting work.

Cons

It is a less people high output kind of company, so even though people are helpful they may be pressed for deadlines.. There is no official training and not so good documentation, so have to develop some soft-skills of bugging right people at right time to make forward progress.. If you don't have initiative - you can't servive here.. Engineers may be exposed to some high level decisions every few months when product level changes are made to adjust to market.. Similarly, there are lot of role changes depending on priority of projects so it causes some re-focusing issue.. Also you don't have ownership of something for a really long time so can't milk your invested time fully..

Pros

Management is competent and actually cares about employee welfare. Jensen is the least sociopathic CEO I've ever worked under. The work has been interesting and I was actually allowed to do things right, and not just "right now".

Cons

The company is 3X the size it was when I joined, with all the usual problems of massive growth. And of course the AI hype at Nvidia is intense.

Pros

NVIDIA's PTO and Sick policies are compassionate and generous. Managers listen to employees' ideas. Employees get to work on a wider variety of projects than expected, and usually work closely with other teams to get things done. Collaboration is tight almost all of the time.

Cons

Employees don't always get insight into why they were assigned a particular project, or have much if any choice about what projects they get to work on. Managers are often too busy working on projects themselves to have the free time to meet with employees on a regular basis. This leads to short-term, reactive thinking rather than long-term visionary thinking.
