      "Best place to work"

      Senior systems software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great learning and growing opportunities. Amazing work culture, flexible timings, good pay, good management and HR teams, great infrastructure and nice recreation areas. A very fast-paced company, full of smart and innovative employees that get to work on challenging projects with latest technologies. Many initiatives to help the society take place round the year. Company provides transport facility for general shift and free meals. Things change too fast so it is necessary to cope up quickly and keep your thinking boots on all the time! Managers are supportive and encouraging.

      Cons

      Nothing specific to mention here.

      Challenging and rewarding

      Senior systems software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Be part of a company that is paving the road to future of computer graphics (gamings, movies, virtual reality), AI (autonomous cars and more), and high performance parallel computing 2. Very smart and friendly working coworkers, down to earth and approachable 3. A good mix of older experienced people and young energetic people 4. Management is very technically savvy 5. Good leadership in general, people are thanked and treated with respect 6. Very few levels of management, leadership is very accessible 7. Discounted cafeteria, 4-6 USD for lunch, 0-1USD for dinner 8. Easy to access different teams in general, few walls 9. Pretty good and open communication, not much is hidden, company places a high amount of trust in people to do the right thing 10. Stock in booming, great if you have options or other stock based compensation 11. Competitive base salary (total package a bit behind the likes of Facebook and Google) 12. A lot of talent and experience in both hardware and software (especially embedded), and general fairly healthy balance and support in the organization between hardware, software, finance, HR, and so on.

      Cons

      1. Hard for some teams and people to preserve work/life balance. Some weekend work and email checking. Depends a lot of the team and person. 2. Only twice a year employee stock purchase plan, so if you join at the wrong time you get burned and don't get to participate for six months 3. Stock options are only selectively distributed based generally on how well you negotiated at hire, some people got good deals, other people got nothing, so get no benefit from the stock rally 4. Office cubes can be a bit cramped, but at least it is not open office so one can concentrate with headphones on and its not too bad. Would be nice to have a bit more space and white noise though. 5. Promotions and bonuses only once per year. Twice per year would be nice. 6. Not much parking during peak times 7. Suffers from demo feature creep, and does a bit of smoke and mirrors in marketing, however the management is aware of the issues and knows how to make real products, so this is mainly an issue in early stage projects where a lot is in flux

      Pros

      - NVIDIA is always creating amazing products and you can participate. It will be an exciting thing that you see your work be announced by Jensen on CES. - You can learn whatever you want and engineers are all very kind to help you. - You are clear to know where this company is heading to and how you can help on that. - NVIDIA doesn't have any developing flows/rules, just group some people and you can roll.

      Cons

      - Company benefit is in average
