Poor Work/Life Balance

Business Outlook

Pros

NVIDIA has good products and lots of challenging work. Things move fast and you are always on the edge of technology.

Cons

In general, the company has poor work-life balance. Products are scheduled assuming best-case operation, and depend on long hours to make up the difference when things inevitably slip.

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast-paced work culture Leading edge technology Strongly support telecommuting. They don't care where you are as long as you get your work done. Can be an excellent place to learn the latest technology

Cons

Ultimately you're just a cog in the machinery. Very poor work-life balance. You're constantly expected to always be on the job - tethered to your blackberry. If you get pigeon-holed into a role, then it can be very difficult to move to a different role. Some managers have the attitude that they are throwing money at you - so just forget about professional growth and do whatever you're told. A lot of talented people tend to turn-off as a result of this attitude.

Business Outlook

Pros

NVIDIA makes great technologies that are changing the world in many ways. Many smart and talented people work in this company that you can learn from.

Cons

NVIDIA is quite demanding. You should expect to work much more hours than other companies in the Silicon Valley. Compensation is below where it should be especially considering how demanding the company is.
