NVIDIA reviews

NVIDIA is a world-famous company, however it is not as cool as it sounds working here ---- I'm comparing it with some companies with equivalent reputation in industry. Base salary and bonus are lower than many Bay Area companies. Benefits are not attractive. Working environment is not so good: only drinking water is free! I cannot comment on the overall management, but my manager is definitely doing too much micro-management. If you are only attracted by it's "fame", be careful on your offer choice. You definitely have a lot of better choices around Bay Area. Just look on glassdoor and find companies rated higher than it! This really helps!

Work life Balance can be very bad in some groups, particularly the groups doing backend design work. Aggressive work culture. Attending daily night calls and meetings can be troublesome for many. Most people would put in lot of hours even on weekends and holidays , setting the same standard for others. Heavy email traffic puts a lot of stress and can decrease productivity. No proper documentation on the complicated flows, very difficult for a new joinee to learn the flows in a short time and become productive. Stock doesn't seem to be going anywhere, the RSU's are no match to what other top companies are paying. It used to be a place once which was known to be a top paymaster and cutting edge work. However now it has lost its shine in the market, companies like LSI, Qualcomm, Broadcom are paying more for the same talent. Work has become just so and so, they do not need top brains anymore for doing such work. Mad rush to enter into the management ladder has resulted in lot of office politics. If you do not have a good reputation with your manager, you will go nowhere in this company, no matter how good work you do.
