Pros

Steady pay. Good amenities on campus. Flexible working hours.

Cons

Expect to work holidays, weekends, evening and early mornings. Worst work/life balance in silicon valley. Products are poorly researched and cheaply made before being turned over to a woefully underfunded and understaffed marketing team micromanaged by the CEO (who has no marketing experience). CEO is out of touch, mean spirited and insecure. His ego is enormous and he has personally ruined the launch of the companies products for the last 3 years because he insists on debuting them himself but his ability to communicate is impaired. Talented management and individual contributors alike tends to realize issues with CEO are insurmountable and happily leave for better work conditions at other silicon valley tech companies. High turnover - talent jumps ship as fast as it can find new employment making NVIDIA permanently understaffed. NVIDIA is a good stepping stone to join other companies with more progressive values, grown up management and innovative products.

Pros

There are interesting and challenging tasks, and most of the time is working with brilliant coworkers, it's a quite good place if you plan to polish you tech capabilities further.

Cons

Sometimes the workload is a little high for an individual engineer, and for one to ramp up, most of the time you have to learn by yourself, so it's all depends on your ability to learn.

Pros

Really can't think of much -- probably the stock grants (when the stock price is rising)

Cons

I really don't understand why NVIDIA gets rated highly. I find that the work environment is unprofessional and chaotic. Work-life balance (at least for those working with India, which is most of the company) is horrible -- expect to spend 3-4 night a week, until 9:00 or 10:00 in the evening on calls with India. This is on-top-of the early morning calls. Management (by design) is "flat", which leads to a complete lack of coordination and lots of confusion. Lots of yelling in meetings because of frustration by managers and staff.
