It is growing exponentially. - R&D oriented, Advance technology, Future vision. Quality over Quantity. - Good medical benifits, food, 401K, office shuttles. - Strong leadership. - Pay for performance culture.

Cons

- All bonus in the form of RSUs only. - Getting to SC office is taking more time these days due to traffic.

Pros

ESPP has strong growth What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Cons

Nvidia is my 3rd job and by far the worst. Every week I must account for very hour of my time and tell them what test I debugged for 0.2 days.

Unparalleled opportunity to grow in a flexible work environment

Business Outlook

Pros

Other engineers are highly qualified. Management is sane. Work makes sense. Fast paced. NVIDIA measures itself against and competes with the best. Competes in many areas giving a lot to learn about. Honest communication from management (improved in the last year or so). Projects ship on time and make performance. CEO is martian smart.

Cons

Many find work/life balance challenging. Project cancellations in speculative areas. Spotty infrastructure. Difficult to get new features into GPUs. Time from idea to Best Buy is two years. Direct communication with CEO can be "intense". This is a common problem with semiconductor companies, but it takes a phenomenal amount of work to do the tiniest little thing. Offices crowded and decaying (cost cutting).
