NVIDIA's not perfect but it's definitely great.

Pros

There are tons of extremely intelligent people to work with; NVIDIA offers decent compensation (not quite as glamorous as Google, but pretty standard offerings including full health benefits and decent stock option benefits with a faster vesting schedule than other companies I've worked for). Also, NVIDIA provides employees with all the latest cool computer toys you could possibly imagine - obviously, high-end video cards, but also gorgeous monitors.

Cons

There are a lot of people here who work very long hours, and if you aren't careful you can easily end up burning out. The company doesn't do 401k contribution matching, which I was surprised to find out. Parking is kind of difficult sometimes at the Santa Clara office because of how many people we have in our offices.

Pros

Great people to work with. Very smart people. Great benefits. People very helpful when you need help. Get to work on cool projects.

Cons

Need better communication between groups. Forced to spend more time at work then with family/friends. Sometimes you have to work long hours and not very well compensated. Having to be at home on weekends watching work emails to see if you have to come into work is not fun when you could be outside relaxing. Caring the company cell phone and having it go off in the middle of the night is not great either. Having to work when the company was shut down during Christmas was not great either. Didn;t get extra compensation.
