NVIDIA reviews

I have never worked for a company before where I hated the people this much. Nvidia is by far the worst experience I have ever had. The company tries to be open to diversity but the workers are hostile to blacks. It is never done in the open as they will get fired. But believe me you will not get the same bonus or the same salary as every one else. Or the same treatment. I would NOT recommend working here. In the end it was not worth it.

Growth for senior engineers like myself is really really not what it should be. RSU grants (vest over 4 years) are calculated as % of your salary, depending on your rating you get from 0% to 50%. You get rated NI (need improvement), FC (full contributor) with 2 categories A and B, and TC (top contributor) again with A and B. So TC-A gets 50% of salary in RSU grants - this is the absolute top compensation bump you could achieve no matter how brilliant you are and how big an impact you make. I think the other scale is FC-B gets 20%, FC-A 30%, and TC-B 40%. NI gets 0%. Let's say you're a senior making 200K/year, if you're TC-A like myself it means you get 100K in RSU over 4 years, or 25K per year. After a couple cycles (2 years) you'll realize it's really not worth it all the effort and hard work for just extra 10% of salary. Stock can grow of course, but stock can also fall. Endeavor building was not planned well - not enough bathroom capacity for number of occupants, people end up waiting for 10-15 minutes just to use a bathroom. Really don't know what to say here. Parking situation is horrendous - again due to bad facility planning. If you come to work at 11am or later, forget about finding parking, valet will be full, and you end up parking illegally in neighbor parking lot. Go to work and fear all day you car will get towed. CEO was asked this question - his answer was - don't come to work at 11. Yeah, but we still have our lives, doctor appointments, our kids and loved ones, so it does happen sometimes I have to come to work later than usual.
