NVIDIA Senior System Engineer reviews

The company culture is designed for engineers to be able to do their best work. Honesty is rewarded, covering up is not. That's unusual in the tech world. Rank and seniority don't mean a lot. If your idea is good, it doesn't matter who you are or how long you've been here. Lots of people here who literally wrote the book on their technological specialty. Zero tolerance for ethnic/racial/gender/age discrimination. That's not from HR, it's everywhere. Do or say something that appeals to stereotype or prejudice and people think you're an idiot. Maybe that's how things are in 2019 techworld, but it sure is refreshing. The commitment to reducing our environmental footprint is genuine. The stuff I've fought for at other companies along those lines is already happening here. Company strongly encourages commuting by bike, public transit, carpool or work from home.

I'll be up front and say that it has always been my dream to work here. With that in mind, I came in telling myself to look at this place as objectively as possible to not cloud my judgement. After working here for over a year, I must say, the hype is real. * Super transparent and surprisingly egalitarian I've worked at other tech companies where it's all double-speak. Here, the hire ups are just regular dudes with added responsibilities. It's surprising how you'll be chatting with some random guy and you find out later he's a director or something. I've never experienced this before and it's awesome. * The technology is incredible and so are the people who work on it I know everyone is "Making the World a Better Place! ™" in the valley, but seriously though, what a time to be alive! Processors that were developed for insane graphics are now used for the world's most powerful supercomputers. What's even crazier is you meet the people who develop all these tools and again... they're just regular, humble dudes doing their life's work. Outstanding. * You're not a peasant, you are an engineer at one of the best tech companies in the world Coming into Nvidia, I was worried it would be a turn and burn shop like Amazon or IBM. A sort of "We own you, now work 90 hours a week, drink this kool-aid and love us", but it's not like that all. You're an individual and you determine your involvement/focus. This sort of freedom is incredible. * Have I mentioned how awesome people are? Seriously though. I show up to work so I can work on cool things and hang out with people.
