Great ASIC design experience, but expectations can often be unrealistic

Hardware engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

NVIDIA offers the ability to obtain a lot of broad experience in the ASIC industry. Your assignments can vary wildly from project to project, but this can cause problems when projects (and their schedules) aren't properly managed. For example, designs can be compromised by inconsistent ownership and poor understanding of the design.

Cons

Long-term prospects for NVIDIA are somewhat uncertain in the context of AMD' and Intel's platform ownership. Inconsistent management focus leads to disappointing project performance.

Business Outlook

Pros

When you are young & strong, NVIDIA gives you the best environment to channelize all your energies; the environment is aggressive, the management is honest and growth opportunities aplenty. Huge responsibilities are just thrown people and those who can swim upstream have everything to gain.

Cons

Work life balance takes a hit; You just cannot balance your life without ruffling a few feathers. If you are one that likes to maintain that rich gamut of hobbies, sorry dude this is not the right place for you.

Think before you leap!

Senior hardware engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nvidia is a very flexible place when it comes to policies. A very competitive place to be in, hires best of people around. Project Execution is the priority. Decisions are quick, risk taking is very high. Overall lot of action...

Cons

If you are not disciplined, then work-life balance is screwed. There could be big disparity in salaries, fair compensation need not be a concern for the company. Look out for managers ready to stab in the name of culture.. There is no skip levels, feedback always flows downwards..., so if you are in a position of power, you can screw your reportees, smile to top management and still walk away with a fat pay check.
