Pros

Leading edge technology. Lots of very smart engineers, no office politics to speak of. Good salary compensation. Gave out good stock options in the past. Flexible work hours, feel free to work as much as you can.

Cons

nVidia excels at hiring the best and brightest engineers, put them in mind-numbing, dull, repetitive jobs. You'll become obsolete in the job market after a few years at nvidia because you get too used to all the internal tools that you forget how to use industry standard tools. Some bright engineers get promoted to become not so good managers, and ultimately lousy middle management. Very little interaction with co-workers outside of work, everyone works long hours, then hurries home, just to come back eight hours later to repeat the cycle. Coworkers who quit, get laid off, or fired, simply disappear with as little fanfare as with the new employees who come in to take their places.

Pros

1) Cutting Edge technology, core products probably the best in business. 2) Very smart peers - probably one of the best in the silicon valley. 3) Future technologies are positioned well to continue leading in the market.

Cons

1) With new professional time off system, vacation feels like a request with your manager rather than something part of the benefits package. This makes some people hesitant to take days off - I definitely didn't take 3 weeks off since last year. 2) Before you realize it, there is just a lot of work on the plate. 3) Aggressive coworkers who work 24 hours a day and are very smart makes it difficult to be contributing at equal level. 4) Benefits have gone down - no more free lunch - meagre / no stock - salary raises promised some random time in the future, but not concrete. 5) best people in the industry but products still sometime broken probably due to Long working hours and aggressive schedules resulting in shortcuts.

Pros

You get to always work with leading edge, industry changing technologies and initiatives. It has a very diverse group of engineers you get a chance to work on many different projects. It has a very open working atmosphere, and most people respect each other and very little politics goes on.

Cons

Often require long hours. Although as the company grew much bigger over the past 6,7 years, it seems the quality of people are no longer as top notch as before as is commonly the case for most companies as they grow bigger. Of course it all depends on which group you work in. Over the years, I have observed my group lay people off who have worked there for years without even sending out an email or have a goodbye party, and you don't find out the person is no longer there until an email bounced back. I found this a bit disconcerting.
