Pros

Some very smart people, Cutting edge technology across different categories, I like all the people on my team including my manager, Some work can be quite interesting, Great new HQ building is being built for late 2017, CEO can be very inspiring, Stock is way up in the last couple years

Cons

Work-life balance isn't great and is very bad for some people, Can be very political, Hard to promote to new levels, Communication between teams can be better, Management gets shuffled around even if they're underperforming/adding nothing instead of demoting or being let go, Only $2500 401k match, Pay is below market average from what I've heard, No RSUs for level 3 and below, Cafe food quality is usually bad

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.
