Pros

R&D probably is good but other than that. IT SUCKS. Too much politics. People will call you even if you go for lunch.

Cons

They will serve better as US Congressmen.

Pros

- Made some of the best friends of my life working at NVIDIA. - Learned what I am capable of achieving under EXTREMELY stressful working conditions; it gave me confidence in my own abilities - Relatively flat organization with little politics. You can get attention for your projects even with 8k employees - Definitely play hard mentality after you're finished working - No accruing vacation. Take it as you need it. (however I've noticed this also breeds a lot of peer pressure NOT to take vacation...so you just have to be OK with that)

Cons

- Very stressful work environment. At crunch times, there is ZERO work/life balance - Teams will be near completion on a project, and then a senior person will come in and completely change direction. It wastes time. - There are always big ideas that trickle down from the top without consideration for how many resources will be needed to execute. Each person is doing 3-people's jobs. - Abrasive communication style. Very negative, very aggressive. - None of the fun perks that other large Silicon Valley companies are known for. No free lunch. No shuttles from SF. No 401k matching (while I was there, although I think this has since changed). No cash bonus (only RSUs).
