Pros

Flexible timings, WFH allowed, Very challenging work and satisfying job profile. Great for driven candidates who make to make difference to company on their own. It is understaffed, indirectly means job is somewhat secured. Very open leadership and fail & pick up culture which is great for learners.

Cons

Occasionally work is swamped. Very busy work and lot of under staffing. Process can be somewhat better and sever lack of documentation or BS documentation in rare cases. Lacking motivators from management can be problem since work is more self driven.

High intensity, good work and good standard benifits, tempered by mediocre quality of daily life.

Pros

The work can be intense and interesting and it's rewarding that people love the products.

Cons

The quality of life is only fair. Long hours, very male engineer dominated. Little to speak of in terms of on site amenities or social opportunities. Compensation is only average for the area and the hours. The stock has been flat for years, making the typical RSU stock rewards and employee stock purchase plans in lieu of raises a disappointing incentive, especially as the RSUs vest over four years.

Pros

In NVIDIA, you never think you are alone, peoples working here always help each and provide enough support. I like the company culture.

Cons

Not like facebook and other big company, the lunch is not free here, although the dinner is very cheap, you just pay 1 dollar for the first food box.
