Exciting but take care of your people

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work in a challenging environment where good enough is never enough, very exciting and challenging. You are always in comptition and to survive, this pushes you to constantly be better. Life is always exciting, when things are good you are rewarded very well financially. Many people get the big cars and nice houses.

Cons

Never is it good enough, you are always pushed and you have to always be going at 110%. This is difiicult to always be going at. The benefits package is mediocre for anything other than stock. The HR team are pretty much idiots and can be replaced pretty quickly with rocks.

Great ASIC design experience, but expectations can often be unrealistic

Hardware engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

NVIDIA offers the ability to obtain a lot of broad experience in the ASIC industry. Your assignments can vary wildly from project to project, but this can cause problems when projects (and their schedules) aren't properly managed. For example, designs can be compromised by inconsistent ownership and poor understanding of the design.

Cons

Long-term prospects for NVIDIA are somewhat uncertain in the context of AMD' and Intel's platform ownership. Inconsistent management focus leads to disappointing project performance.
