Pros

Flexibility and focus on results rather than formal procedures, so it is convenient to work here. Great appreciation for innovation, research and improvements. Steady growth in terms of career, and a lot of possibilities for personal development - like internal lectures/conferences, partner programs with universities, web learning portals, domain experts, etc. Bleeding edge technology and experts in multiple fields, ties to the scientific R&D - and you can take part in any of those fields and acquire knowledge from experts. Competitive salaries. Management is mostly built of people with serious practical background, so they have a lot of understanding what is going on, and a vision that is both very practical, AND innovative. Feeling that you build and shape future.

Cons

Mentioned flexibility doesn't work well for all of the people - some people feel comfortable with more strict, managed environment, strictly formulated tasks and timeframes, and don't appreciate too much of the individual freedom. Resources of the company are more limited to those of a bigger companies which sometimes may be perceived as a good thing sometimes (work smarter, not harder), but otherwise it limits the potential possibilities.

Pros

Who doesn't like video games, robots, self driving cars, AI, and high performance computing all in one company? There are projects in almost every area of hardware and software design. Great culture around designing the highest performance products based on what can be done verses what is "good enough". The benefits are good, Jensen understands and cares about employees.

Cons

Deadlines can be tight, a lot is asked of employees to deliver at times, so can be stressful like most companies.

Pros

More interesting work to do than can be done in ten lifetimes. Chance to constantly work at the cutting edge with people who favor results and not drama. Your work will be used by many many people, and you will get to advance the state of the art for entire industries. Company is very flexible, and willing to accommodate people who work hard and perform well.

Cons

Hard to stay on top of everything all the time.
