Pros

Industry still ranks NVIDIA highly on resume

Cons

Majority of company hasn't seen a pay increase or bonus in 3 years. Instead, pay-cuts and removal of multiple employee incentives. Senior Execs have no clue on products being made and only remain in position because CEO is loyal to a fault. No career advancement, no compensation for exceptional achievements, and a pipeline of inferior products. Absolutely insane product schedules that get missed by several months seem to be a regular situation with products despite input from engineering giving ample notice and feedback to avoid in the future. Senior Execs stick head in sand and pretend nothing is wrong. If you're the one bringing up issues or highlighting a fault with a product, you get heckled despite company claims of valuing "intellectual honesty". NVDA still thinks it is a startup and runs accordingly. At the current size, that means total chaos with the occasional "lucky product" that saves the day.

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.
