Pros

Good financial compensation. Good perks on campus including a well managed cafeteria and daily amenities such as dental care, car repair, bicycle maintenance and haircuts. It's not free but makes it easy to get certain regular tasks done without disrupting your day. High stress, fast paced environment will mold you into a rock star at your next company.

Cons

Offices are outdated, employees work on sub-standard computers and almost everything about the company's spending habits indicates that it's not just frugal but cheap. Departments are universally understaffed and overworked so expect to work overtime. Environment drives away talent and encourages success to leave to find better working conditions. Executive management is out of touch with reality in general. All employees likely to suffer from direct micro-management by the CEO sooner or later. Worst part about NVIDIA is that the CEO Jen-Hsun Huang is wildly insecure, a slave to his own volatile emotions and universally abusive of his staff. He is prone to yelling and name calling in meetings and will personally lead witch hunts that are made worse by the universal desire of senior management to distract him from their own political in-fighting. He will publicly demean others and has made it impossible to form a larger, cohesive team within the company. The internal reputation of Jensen (as he is referred to within the industry) is very poor and while he is well respected for his intellectual capacity he is also feared and loathed for his mean-spirited, personal attacks and for being completely unapproachable.

Pros

Flexible schedule and liked what I did.

Cons

Worst manager I ever worked for. She called for 5 minutes meeting, it turned out 30 mins to an hour or until people kicked us out of the conference. She talked about other people, and gossips. Didn't know how to assign job responsibilities to employees. One was extremely busy, while others weren't challenged enough. Fake and insecured and nosy and micro manager. Since she started running the department a few years ago, she demoted all her supervisors. EmployeeS walked out without giving notice. She involved way too much in APA. I think this could be her side job. Stupid management didn't see this even the employees brought to their attention. It's sad the company is a decent place to work for. I wouldn't say the best but average.

Pros

Leading edge technology. Lots of very smart engineers, no office politics to speak of. Good salary compensation. Gave out good stock options in the past. Flexible work hours, feel free to work as much as you can.

Cons

nVidia excels at hiring the best and brightest engineers, put them in mind-numbing, dull, repetitive jobs. You'll become obsolete in the job market after a few years at nvidia because you get too used to all the internal tools that you forget how to use industry standard tools. Some bright engineers get promoted to become not so good managers, and ultimately lousy middle management. Very little interaction with co-workers outside of work, everyone works long hours, then hurries home, just to come back eight hours later to repeat the cycle. Coworkers who quit, get laid off, or fired, simply disappear with as little fanfare as with the new employees who come in to take their places.
