Pros

- Nice to learn lots about graphic cards technology and game related products - Company has good branding and marketing area, niche marketing direction. - Good branding/naming value for your next job - Good for engineers, since it is engineer oriented working environment as CEO has engineer background - Especially tech/product demo engineers are well treated since company is focusing(spending money) on many conference and events

Cons

- Top to bottom micro-management from CEO, designers can't design that much(no need creativity that much) - Not flexible to transfer from one department to another(especially for mid-level employees) due to power games in-between departmental managers - Not healthy working environment: Employees seldom trust each other when they work together so always being suspicious attitude to other employees. - Lower salary than other Bay companies - LACK OF COMMUNICATION FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND TOO MUCH OF PLAN OF RECORD CHANGES

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.
