Pros

The work can be intense and interesting and it's rewarding that people love the products.

Cons

The quality of life is only fair. Long hours, very male engineer dominated. Little to speak of in terms of on site amenities or social opportunities. Compensation is only average for the area and the hours. The stock has been flat for years, making the typical RSU stock rewards and employee stock purchase plans in lieu of raises a disappointing incentive, especially as the RSUs vest over four years.

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.
