Pros

The paychecks didn't bounce and I didn't get cafeteria food poisoning.

Cons

The mobile/Tegra division is a failure. The only company that uses the Tegra chip is Nvidia itself for its own niche products: the Nvidia Shield and Nvidia tablet. It's only a matter of time before this entire division is sold off or shut down. The documentation group merely cleans up engineering docs, adding punctuation and fixing misspellings. Its run by a sadistic micro-manager who will sabotage your projects so she can swoop in and play superhero to save the day. The only writers who stay are low self-esteem victims and masochists who believe the manager's dysfunctional behavior comes from her deep concern for their well-being. A classic abusive environment. If you're a masochist or someone who feels they deserve to be psychologically belittled, you'll find a home here. All others, keep away.

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
