Pros

Clear mission and one team culture promotes collaborations. People helping each other out and communication is always great.

Company is getting bigger so quickly and you have to keep up very quickly so u are on top of things.

Pros

Very competitive salary and benefits for this industry. Very high level of technical and corporate transparency across teams/sites (this is in striking contrast to many other so-called leading companies in this industry!) Everyone believes in and works towards the company's goals and vision. High employee morale and corporate pride. Shared sense of success (and failures too) - not a "me" culture. Employees feel valued. Minimal politics that would block technical people from achieving their goals. Agile decision making and course correction to stay on track with product roadmaps. Company does not live in the past or rest too much on past success. Fair amount of work/life balance (as long as you take responsibility).

Cons

Not suitable for people who aren't self-starters - often frustrating when onboarding to a new team to get very little help from peers which results in wasted trial/error. A lot of tribal knowledge and sparse/outdated internal documentation/websites make it difficult and inefficient to find information. Matrixed org structure leads to firstline managers with unmanageable amount of direct reports resulting in very low opportunity for focused one-on-one time, coaching, and development. Too much focus on projects and staffing at Headquarters - this leads to limited growth/movement opportunities for people outside of California. Rapid growth is stressing the company's resources and historically closeknit culture.

Pros

Compensation & Benefits: - Base salary gets competitive as you go up in your IC level. - ESPP has a 2 year lock in window. Not many companies in the industry have that. - 401K match is a fixed value which is good for people who plan to work for a shorter period. - Multiple choices to choose from your health benefits (depending on your requirements) and are very competitive. - Dinner is subsidized. Career: - If you are self motivated, you can learn a lot of stuff. - Teams are usually small (< 15 under a manager) so visibility to upper management and across teams is high. - There are opportunities to move within the company and is highly encouraged by our CEO. YMMV. - There are avenues for Learning & Development, but its mostly about Machine learning and AI. Immigration: - NVIDIA is very prompt with your immigration applications. There is no lead in period to apply for your H1B, Green Card or any other petitions. Work Culture: - Information about projects & products is available to all teams so there is a sense of satisfaction when you know what you are working on. - There are mailing groups & clubs for all things and you can openly ask for help, be it work related or not. - Flexible work hours as long as you complete the work within the agreed upon timeframe.

Cons

Compensation & Benefits: - Base salary for NCG or lower level ICs may not match that of bigger companies. - There is no profit sharing or cash bonuses. - RSU grant is once a year and is not very competitive unless the stock price goes up on its own. - There are no free lunches, not since 2009. Career: - Not a lot of opportunities for Career growth. - Since teams are small, there is no time for anyone to mentor younger employees. - If you are not self motivated, it's very difficult to learn/do new things. - Intra team transfer needs your current manager's approval. - Review/Appraisal process is not very transparent. There are no written reviews by the manager. - There is no clear goal on what you need to do to get promoted.
