Pros

- Awesome place for your first job if you are inclined to stay in the hardware device drivers domain - You can interact with top employees of NVidia across the world, learning tons from them in the process. - Top-notch code base, and the code review process is very rigorous, thus helping you hone your skills.

Cons

- Pretty easy to get stagnated in the same role after about 2 years - Managers in Pune are not tech-savvy in general, and would go with the prevailing opinion of their superiors instead of basing decisions on technical details. - To get any meaningful work done, you'd have to work in the same time zone as the HW/SW engineers in Santa Clara, but would still be expected to be seen in office during day time.

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.
