Not so great (software engineer)

Pros

This is update on my previous review. Main thing in "pros" column is decent pay.. Mostly everything else goes to "cons".

Cons

I am not sure what Nvidia's "engaged" status means, but employees are instructed by the upper management to leave positive feedback here (hence all the positive one-liners). Nvidia has a "yes sir" culture. If you don't believe it - look up Jensen's old lecture on Youtube when he says that the best quality of an employee is ability to accept criticism. Management whims run the show, technical expertise always comes second. Horrible team dynamics within engineering organization. Management hires their friends, people get fired in retaliation for talking back. Middle management invents work for everyone so they can look useful. Many of my coworkers are openly saying that they are here only for the paycheck. Seems like there was a honest effort to invest in tools and services for employees at some point, but now mostly everything is broken. Any request to HR or IT takes weeks if not months (but most of the time you won't hear back unless you are able to escalate). Avoid Nvidia unless you like to feel miserable.

Awful Manager

Pros

You get to work on challenging problems. Lot of room to change things and contribute Very fast paced

Cons

The biggest downside that shadows all the good things about Nvidia is the manager. No clarity in conveying directions, often confused and forgetful. Knit picking,micromanging. No technical knowledge, very political and manipulative. No focus on resolving issues. Many people left the group before I joined, during my tenure and after I left but there hasnt been any action from HR.

Pros

- Salary is good. - Work hours are flexible although you are expected to be available pretty much 24/7 - Smart colleagues who challenge you to be a better professional - Very Strong GPU Engineering

Cons

- Management DO NOT care at all about the employees. They are busy managing up and dodging Jensen's bullets - No respect for the employees - No career path - A "great" sales prevention company. Disappoint customers all the time. And hand opportunities to competition due to its arrogance and messed up business models.
