Pros

NVIDIA makes great technologies that are changing the world in many ways. Many smart and talented people work in this company that you can learn from.

Cons

NVIDIA is quite demanding. You should expect to work much more hours than other companies in the Silicon Valley. Compensation is below where it should be especially considering how demanding the company is.

Pros

- *Used to* have some of the best talents in the world - Arbitrary work assignments leading to few lucky people getting good work regardless of experience - Best place to work for 1-2 years if you want to do MS/Phd later - Company has overall a good reputation outside - One of the best CEO's around the world

Cons

- No or very limited employee benefits and rewards - Too many project cancellations . company is on the downfall from last 3 years - Too many managers and leads than working force leading to more work per employee - Company makes sure that it wouldn't give any compensation / benefits to retain the employees - Lot of politics. Work contributions are not valued. What is more valued is how many managers and HR contacts does one have - Slipping the deadlines has become a habit for the company. Unrealistic project deadlines leading to more stress on already lean work force. - Local managers don't encourage new ideas or methodologies - Outdated and very old technology and methodology flows - Core-values are only meant to be on slides. If followed strictly, it leads to total isolation from the team

Pros

NVIDIA is chock full of really talented people. Most of the engineers and managers I dealt with were technically top-notch, and very knowledgeable about graphics.

Cons

Engineers are spread around the projects like peanut butter. You don't have much of a project identify, since you get moved from project to project according to the whims of management. The pace is hectic, and the company seems to always run in crisis mode.
