Always at risk, but high risk, high return. No body assures 'High return" though.

Pros

- Intelligent, nice, and honest people - Cool products and potential growth - Like a giant startup - Open and intellectually honest culture

Cons

- Raises and promotions are few and far between - Long hrs and lots of work - CEO is brilliant but a bit cheap so facilities and operations are cheap and often broken - No 401K matching, no accrued vacation, no gym, etc.

Glory Days at NVIDIA are Over. Brace for Impact.

Business Outlook

Pros

Looks good on resume. Even that will likely go away in the near future.

Cons

ZERO sense of urgency. No pulse on campus. Desktop PC going extinct, Intel attacking margin-rich Quadro with Xeon-Phi, Qualcomm crushing Tegra, Icera modem roadmap not competitive, Analysts not understanding roadmap, internal roadmap changing weekly. No 401K matching, ESPP is no longer a bonus as the stock continues to tank, hardly any bonuses.
