Pros

A very professional, collaborative environment. Upward mobility is possible if you work hard and contribute game-changing ideas. With the rise of AI, the company and it's employees are poised to do very well. You can explore different areas of interest, and your manager can even lend you out to other teams for periods of time if you'd like. Our benefits package is awesome. The base salary is good.

Cons

We don't exactly get great discounts on our own company's products, which is a shame. If you have to work on chip bringup, depending on your role, you may need to work 70+ hours per week for a few weeks. There is no xmas or end of year bonus.

Pros

Management is competent and actually cares about employee welfare. Jensen is the least sociopathic CEO I've ever worked under. The work has been interesting and I was actually allowed to do things right, and not just "right now".

Cons

The company is 3X the size it was when I joined, with all the usual problems of massive growth. And of course the AI hype at Nvidia is intense.

Pros

NVIDIA's PTO and Sick policies are compassionate and generous. Managers listen to employees' ideas. Employees get to work on a wider variety of projects than expected, and usually work closely with other teams to get things done. Collaboration is tight almost all of the time.

Cons

Employees don't always get insight into why they were assigned a particular project, or have much if any choice about what projects they get to work on. Managers are often too busy working on projects themselves to have the free time to meet with employees on a regular basis. This leads to short-term, reactive thinking rather than long-term visionary thinking.
