Great for HW development, subpar for SW development

Business Outlook

Pros

+ Unique technology + Exposure to AI and new technologies + Nice immigration visa support (one of the best)

Cons

- SW product development is a joke - They want to learn by trying things out without involving outsiders who have been doing this since 10s of years - They have an integration mindset, which is orthogonal to product development - SW is all about prototypes. The strategy is all about showing prototypes to the world so that others would get inspired and buy more GPUs.

Pros

Large company so your experience will depend on whether you work in a good or bad group. The cafeteria had reasonable food. The work environment was satisfactory.

Cons

If you write documentation for the Tegra processor, your life will be a living hell, unless you enjoy being micromanaged and sabotaged by your manager. However, if you have low self-esteem and a willingness to submit to the pathological machinations of an insecure manager, you will enjoy the sadistic environment.

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation is fairly good, great projects to work on, employees are great to work with.

Cons

Entire middle management spends too much time being afraid of upper management. Ideas are crushed. Executive management is old, rich, and weary and just says "yes sir" to CEO. Employees build great products that management spends no marketing on to tell people about.
