NVIDIA reviews

The Local Directors are surrounded by Managers whom politics is more important than the Company work. The managers are behaving like the company is running just because of them. If you do Good work then your work will not be recognised by your name but they will show as they have done this task and if you are lagging in something then they will focus your week points to upper management (Local Director). Many managers are just enjoying email-emails to check whether there is any spelling mistakes in the email even if the topic is important for the company. Looks like they are Professors from Cambrige University and joined NVIDIA for checking spellings only and not for any technical issues. Many of them are overloaded with the work and we need to ping them for any approval 4-5 times and they don't know how to use Blackberry given to them to see if any email arrives in their INBOX. Local Directors are keeping quiet even if any employee is doing complaint against any Managers. As per Managers Local Directors are always out of reach for them and they don't have proper knowledge about NVIDIA policies and need to take approval for each request from Local Director. For a simple request we need to wait for at least 15 days to get the approval from the Manager just because of this reason. Even HR team is doing the same thing and they don't have time to listen employee and reslove the issues.

1) With new professional time off system, vacation feels like a request with your manager rather than something part of the benefits package. This makes some people hesitant to take days off - I definitely didn't take 3 weeks off since last year. 2) Before you realize it, there is just a lot of work on the plate. 3) Aggressive coworkers who work 24 hours a day and are very smart makes it difficult to be contributing at equal level. 4) Benefits have gone down - no more free lunch - meagre / no stock - salary raises promised some random time in the future, but not concrete. 5) best people in the industry but products still sometime broken probably due to Long working hours and aggressive schedules resulting in shortcuts.
