Pros

I joined NVIDIA four months ago. My engineering manager is very friendly and supportive. Coworkers are very friendly and productive. The job description is very clear so that every body knows which area you are working on. You feel like your working to invent a cutting edge technology. I am very happy to work for Nvidia. In addition, they pay very well.

Cons

I do not see any cons yet. Maybe because I am new.

Pros

- Work with the latest and greatest gaming technologies. - Work with all the top software developers in the industry. - Work everyday on interesting and challenging tasks. - Great employee compensation and benefits. - Very warm and friendly work environment. - Fun company team events. - Great work desk, chairs and latest computers to work on.

Cons

- Some benefits in Toronto, Canada office don't match that of workers in USA. Ex. No matching CDN RRSP contribution benefits to match the USA 401k equivalent. - No direct employee discounts on GPUs. Only NVIDIA $$$ in gear store that don't yet benefit Canadian employees due to heavy shipping and customs tariffs.

Pros

Interestign work. Lost of freedom, no micromanaging of tasks. Communication in the team is good (between engineers and direct manager at least). Pay. Trust.

Cons

Intra-company competition. Managers must fit team members' performance to specified distribution for reviews (which is proven to be useless). Product management seems to be mostly incompetent, though my sample size is very small here. People clinging to posts, leading to high friction and forcing engineers to strategically consider everything they communicate, instead of being open. Ridiculous forcing everyone to do "something" with the newest hype, even if it doesn't help with their problem at all.
