Pros

NVIDIA provides a competitive salary along with industry standard benefits. No paid time off (vacation or sick days). This can be OK with a good manager or it can be a nightmare with a bad one. I don't know anyone personally who has had a hard time getting time off. Working from home is acceptable, and many people do so when they are able. Work can be very challenging, and I haven't experienced many "slackers" just drifting along. Most people seem to pull their own weight. Many opportunities to volunteer in the community, and the offices are "green".

Cons

Can be difficult to move around. Some personalities may find it difficult to deal with so many "Type A's". Aggressive behavior is expected sometimes, so I can understand if some can't really get into that either.

Pros

NVIDIA's PTO and Sick policies are compassionate and generous. Managers listen to employees' ideas. Employees get to work on a wider variety of projects than expected, and usually work closely with other teams to get things done. Collaboration is tight almost all of the time.

Cons

Employees don't always get insight into why they were assigned a particular project, or have much if any choice about what projects they get to work on. Managers are often too busy working on projects themselves to have the free time to meet with employees on a regular basis. This leads to short-term, reactive thinking rather than long-term visionary thinking.

Pros

The product security organization has a very ideal work-life balance. The culture is strong on ownership and trust. There is a good sense of pride and collaboration across teams with low level of politics and high sense of "the project is the boss". Compensation is good for the roles. Merit increases and promotions are mostly transparent, but can vary from manager to manager.

Cons

Leadership direction can be whiplash at some times. Some initiatives feel directionless, while others feel misguided. Leadership does respond to push back and listens to employees though, but it often feels like managing up.
