Pros

You can meet great collegues and if you are lucky with management you can have a freedom to work on the topics you consider interesting and important with little pressure and change of direction every few months. Great work/life balance. And of course you can publish your work even in ML/robotics areas.

Cons

Depending on the team, but bureaucracy can be quite a limiting factor. Compensation is on the lower spectrum compared to other top tier companies. If not a rate of stock price growth it would be a disaster.

Pros

Technical excellence and engineering rigor – Working alongside some of the smartest engineers in the industry. Code reviews, architecture discussions, and performance optimization were taken seriously. Cutting-edge technology – Unparalleled exposure to GPUs, CUDA, AI infrastructure, and low-level systems programming. Truly a place where you can work on problems that define the next decade of computing. Impact – Your work ships in products used by millions of gamers, researchers, and data centers worldwide. That visibility is rare and rewarding. Leadership in AI/ML – NVIDIA is not just riding the AI wave; it’s enabling it. Being at the center of that as an engineer was professionally transformative. Compensation – Competitive salary + RSUs that have appreciated significantly over time. The financial upside for long-term employees has been substantial.

Cons

Internal mobility – Moving between teams (e.g., from automotive to gaming) was harder than promised. Managers sometimes blocked transfers.
