Pros

Good place to start with. Lots of work and a lot of exposure to new things. As an NCG, you'll get a chance to learn a lot of things and apply your skills to develop new things. The company runs at an SOL (speed of light) schedule.

Cons

Lots of things to juggle makes it difficult to focus. Perks are not that great. There is no annual bonus. Salary increments are not much. There is still a startup sort of attitude in the company.

Pros

A variety of work on different things help you to develop varied skills. Company is in a sweet spot not so big not so small so devlopers get good core and end to end work which may not happen in giants like Intel etc Pay is good, nothing awesome, but inline with Qualcomm, Intel etc (around 3x the exp for dev people). Good option (infact the best one) if one wants to stay in pune, sadly this is the only company paying well in Pune. Management is good in terms of approving timeoff requests etc also some managers are good techies and lead the team well.

Cons

There's no awesome work here in Signal Processing atleast, a lot of boring driver stuff goes on which becomes dull after a point in time and we feel to long for some really good R&D kind of work rather than boring register reads/writes. Its not a Qualcomm or an Intel types where you may get chance to work on good R&D stuff if you get lucky. Its true that we get a very good overall system perspective as we work on varied issues and areas but still its unmatchable with some niche mathematical work like processing signals. In terms of salary nvidia sometimes the tend to pull down people in pune atleast as there is no competition here. Nvidia pays well but it gets even more work out of its employees, always there's tons of work and less people to do it and it hampers the work-life balance (provides a chance for lot of self devlopment as well) but in the longer run work-life balance matters... Its certainly not a company where you can plan a long long career sheerly because of lack of work life balance and absence of real quality work.
