Pros

Free lunch; You get to work with smart people

Cons

Work like a zombie. Manager is everything. If you fail to satisfy his ego, you are a sitting duck in this company On the other hand, if you can keep consulting the manager for everything and make it sound like you are respecting him, you can get far everything is ad-hoc .. Points for finishing , rather than for finishing things in the right way And if you are verification engineer, forget it.. JUST forget working for this thankless company run by egoistic managers And if you have joined nvidia from another company, u will never be heard... even if you are proven right a zillion times. Who speaks is more important than what is spoken. Egoistic managers straight out of IITs who have no real world experience are the kings here. summary : massage the manager. Or just forget it..

Pros

Talented People and cutting edge work. Keeps you busy. Good health plan. 2 Year lock for Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Free Dinner.

Cons

Unfriendly work environment. Although people are talented, there is too much of attitude. Too many emails and people do not like in-person interaction. Lack of work and life balance. Poor Project schedule planning. Always the schedule slips more than a year. There is no growth for Individual contributors. There is no compensation based on performance. No bonus and they do not give good no. of RSUs any more. Its pretty much your base salary. No 401K matching. There is no Paid Time Off. They call it, Professional Time Off which means you talk to your manage and get as much as vacation. Who in the world allows you to take a long vacation. When ever you ask your manager, he/she says, we can't give you more than two weeks due to schedule. Lots of dis-satisfied employees that's reducing the people efficiency. There lots of people leaving the company and the management is not putting much effort in stopping that. Managers do not care about their employees. Employees are frequently moved to different managers in a short time. Sometime that really affects the reviews. Overall its not a employee oriented company.

Pros

Great people to work with. Very smart people. Great benefits. People very helpful when you need help. Get to work on cool projects.

Cons

Need better communication between groups. Forced to spend more time at work then with family/friends. Sometimes you have to work long hours and not very well compensated. Having to be at home on weekends watching work emails to see if you have to come into work is not fun when you could be outside relaxing. Caring the company cell phone and having it go off in the middle of the night is not great either. Having to work when the company was shut down during Christmas was not great either. Didn;t get extra compensation.
