Pros

- Good place to retire unless you have misgivings about you retiring as a senior management guy. That ain't happen at NV. - Good place for people who enjoy a lack luster career at the cost of the freebies thrown. - Good place for those who enjoy organizational politics - If you are looking for utopia then it is NV- be sure that you are subdued,submissive to your manager and kill your ideas and ideologies. If you are willing to forget and forgive your team not being properly compensated and rewarded and collude with your manager then this is the best place for a personal growth.

Cons

-Bad place to work if you go by the rule book of NV core value of "Intellectually Honesty". You will be shot pretty soon straight in the temple - Bad place if you don't like local politics with a compounded situation of senior management overseas behaving like "an ostrich with its head in the sand". -Lack of direction and focus on the road map ( they do know the road, it is just that they are finding it difficult to figure the way to the destination)

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.
