Pros

- surrounded by skilled and motivated people, even the management is great, which is rare - the company provides all the tools and equipment you can ask for - a LOT of opportunities to grow and choose the area of work that fits you best - good communication with the manager, easy to hear feedback - good team atmosphere & collaboration - well paid - your initiatives & ideas are heard & welcome

Cons

- Crazy workload & work tempo. This mostly comes from deadlines being pulled in more and more, and tasks coming up at short notice, and this seems to get worse over time. Managers can't do anything about it, as it comes from the top layers. So working overtime is almost unavoidable and expected of you, obviously leading to poor work-life balance. - Another thing, specific to Poland, is that the company does not provide KUP (tax deduction scheme for IT), which results in a big chunk of your salary eaten by a 32% Polish income tax.

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.
