Pros

Monopoly in GPU and deep learning hardware

Cons

Sweatshop, too many politics and unfairness inside. For people who contribute, they got so much pressure and were demanded more. Long working hours and poor benefits. Far below the bay area average

Pros

Amazing product roadmap with a push towards Self Driving Cars and Machine learning. The startup culture and speed at which the company aligns towards new markets is commendable.

Cons

Do not get into QA. The amount of bureaucracy you will face is surely going to bring the morals down. Its as if being in a dictatorship with folks in upper management trying to control the way you work. Micro managing every aspect of your life and penalizing you for a simple report having an unapproved Subject line. The HR does not bother as the folks who are responsible for the mess are too high in a position to be replaced. Heavy attrition of skilled folks leading to a dilution of talent. And suppressing the talented folks from growing in the Org is clearly visible. Management cooks up data to show otherwise like nobody's business and those who can resolve this are usually hogwashed into believing the data is factual. At the end of the day, the real engineers are too afraid to come out openly on all the micro management as they are torn between working on cutting edge technology and dealing with their Managers

Pros

Good financial compensation. Good perks on campus including a well managed cafeteria and daily amenities such as dental care, car repair, bicycle maintenance and haircuts. It's not free but makes it easy to get certain regular tasks done without disrupting your day. High stress, fast paced environment will mold you into a rock star at your next company.

Cons

Offices are outdated, employees work on sub-standard computers and almost everything about the company's spending habits indicates that it's not just frugal but cheap. Departments are universally understaffed and overworked so expect to work overtime. Environment drives away talent and encourages success to leave to find better working conditions. Executive management is out of touch with reality in general. All employees likely to suffer from direct micro-management by the CEO sooner or later. Worst part about NVIDIA is that the CEO Jen-Hsun Huang is wildly insecure, a slave to his own volatile emotions and universally abusive of his staff. He is prone to yelling and name calling in meetings and will personally lead witch hunts that are made worse by the universal desire of senior management to distract him from their own political in-fighting. He will publicly demean others and has made it impossible to form a larger, cohesive team within the company. The internal reputation of Jensen (as he is referred to within the industry) is very poor and while he is well respected for his intellectual capacity he is also feared and loathed for his mean-spirited, personal attacks and for being completely unapproachable.
