Exceptional company still Start up character

Pros

US culture, US benefits translated to regional situations plus the max of local regional standard benefits like vacation, pension, notice periods. I would say the best of both combined. Salary very competitive and performance related. Exceptional very family friendly, even with the high demand and challenging work life balance as NV is no 9-5 company. If you like that and can handle this self responsibility, than it is a great place to work. Good development even with flat hierarchy, maybe not in the traditional career ladder, but with the chance to invent new, change and exceed your job responsibilities and your own competencies.

Cons

Connection international to US sometimes slow, many people involved in decision making. The good part of the "Start Up Character" has also a bad part of having no big administration part with fixed structure, so sometimes hard to find the right contact.

Innovative Company, fast moving, great to work for

Pros

NVIDIA is a company that solves problems and is constantly striving to make our products better and faster for our customers. Despite being a large company, it still has an entrepreneurial and familial feel. It's different in a very positive way to any other company out there in that it allows room for employees to grow and thrive while working for the same goal.

Cons

Sometimes the lack of process can be a challenge.

Pros

* The company dreams big and is unafraid to jump off the deep end when there's an opportunity * Rare to encounter anyone who is "phoning it in"; very efficient workplace and dedicated colleagues * Execution speed is admirably fast; I'd be surprised if any peer company (e.g. Intel/AMD/Qualcomm) can deliver new products at NVIDIA schedules * Flat hierarchy - titles are generally private, and authority comes from earned respect. The company is still small enough for individual contributors to get recognition from the top. * Every year the company has improved and dealt with problems and deficiencies employees have brought up.

Cons

* Global offices and round-the-clock handoff means the work day never ends. It's only possible to unplug if you force yourself to, as there will always be more work than time. * Constant feeling of being understaffed, even if that may not be accurate. Work is not always load-balanced well. * Many teams appear to pile on a lot of technical debt and are unable to staff internal improvements. * "Speed of light" schedules sometimes forget to account that we're not in a vacuum :) * Used to be behind in perks, but that is improving, e.g. shuttle services. Food is slowly improving, although costs unlike some peer companies, and dinner food quality is awful. No snack options besides some antiquated vending machines. * Conf call + webex setup feels antiquated. Behind on communications technologies, which is challenging when dealing with a global team. Progress is being made but it's slow. * Underinvestment in social aspects: Rare for teams to ever go out or do team-building activities. Celebrations are rare. Alcohol-free campus dampens any relaxed communication. No holiday party (community service is the replacement, which is admirable, but can't think of why we can't do both...)
