Pros

Decent compensation Nvidia Bangalore Centre works on the latest technologies, there are opportunities to learn and grow technically. If you are a geek and like slogging out for long hours, you might like this place..

Cons

Work life Balance can be very bad in some groups, particularly the groups doing backend design work. Aggressive work culture. Attending daily night calls and meetings can be troublesome for many. Most people would put in lot of hours even on weekends and holidays , setting the same standard for others. Heavy email traffic puts a lot of stress and can decrease productivity. No proper documentation on the complicated flows, very difficult for a new joinee to learn the flows in a short time and become productive. Stock doesn't seem to be going anywhere, the RSU's are no match to what other top companies are paying. It used to be a place once which was known to be a top paymaster and cutting edge work. However now it has lost its shine in the market, companies like LSI, Qualcomm, Broadcom are paying more for the same talent. Work has become just so and so, they do not need top brains anymore for doing such work. Mad rush to enter into the management ladder has resulted in lot of office politics. If you do not have a good reputation with your manager, you will go nowhere in this company, no matter how good work you do.

Pros

1. Technology, always up to the mark, very advance. A lot of hardware to work with. 2. Work culture is cool and relaxed, still has a heart of a startup. 3. Free food and transport.

Cons

1. Bangalore is not the place for software. If you are looking for good SW job, go to Hyd. 2. Bad hikes (They used to pay good, not anymore), shares are just trap. 3. Technically incompetent and egoist managers, rather morons. They have there own checklist for appraisals, regardless of performance. Favoritism is big time.

Pros

Project management is sane. Schedules are aggressive but generally achievable. When not, PM makes sane adjustments to requirements or schedule. Remote sites frequently allow employees to work from home. Mitigates high presence expectation. Company is been on a slow but steady growth pattern for years. Tends to succeed in most pursuits, though never unboundedly. Decent future prospects, but don't expect to get rich.

Cons

Methodology is too centralized, too "push-button" and too broken. Huge and written in non-scaling languages (i.e. tcl, Make). Design engineers not allowed at vendor AEs. Targets NCGs. Hence, experienced engineers are poorly utilized, not respected and not invested in. Global projects with high internal competition -> effective 24/7 response expectation. Not good for, say, sleep or life. Lots of lip service to balance and lots of "listening", but the realities are fixed. Part of the job. Still a lot of site-tribalism -> less solution sharing -> lost efficiency.
