Pros

- Good senior managment; company is well directed IMHO - Decent potential upside in stock ESPP etc. - Jen-Hsun; I really believe he's doing an excellent job.

Cons

Suffering sereve growing pains. NVIDIA hasn't found it's stride as a medium sized company. It's a bit unfocused and chaotic at ths stage; trying to do too much with too few engineers. Too many projects and too much support for legacy code and products to maintain focus and high quality. Recent moves to switch to RSUs, change PTO to professional time off are very corporate -- and are passed off to the employees as being a good thing. Not good for me.

Pros

More often than not, NCGs get to experience different stages of ASIC design and develop a broad skill set. Work is fast paced and exciting. Management is usually very good about communicating future direction/strategy at every level.

Cons

To extract the most out of the job, long hours are inevitable and compensation is usually not commensurate. All bonuses are tied to the company stock.
