      Pros

      Interestign work. Lost of freedom, no micromanaging of tasks. Communication in the team is good (between engineers and direct manager at least). Pay. Trust.

      Cons

      Intra-company competition. Managers must fit team members' performance to specified distribution for reviews (which is proven to be useless). Product management seems to be mostly incompetent, though my sample size is very small here. People clinging to posts, leading to high friction and forcing engineers to strategically consider everything they communicate, instead of being open. Ridiculous forcing everyone to do "something" with the newest hype, even if it doesn't help with their problem at all.

      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.
