At Nvidia Life becomes a pressure cooker, not for the weak hearted
Pros
Works in the latest technology. Tegra is doing pretty good. Good Compensation at par with best in the industry. You work with some of the most talented people in the industry. Company has a good roadmap in the smartphone/tablet business.
Cons
Zero work life balance. You are expected to work on weekends most of the time. Company doesn't believe that people should have fun in their life. There's no gym in any of its campuses worldwide. No team outings or any cultural events. Heavy mail traffic. Working with US teams means you have to stay up late in the night, attend calls and respond to mails in the night. Schedule planning by management is pathetic , it doesn't take into account weekends and other holidays. Local managers created are totally incapable of handling people they are too aggressive, put too much pressure on people and have unrealistic expectations. The work culture is very aggressive, if you do not get used to it , your life will be hell here. Equity compensation is a myth. RSU's are a joke. Before joining negotiate very hard, don't get emotional in their sweet talks of great work and all, once you are in you will not have time for anything else.
