Pros

Great company which really takes care of its employees No layoffs during 2022 downturn and those that joined early in the year got extra stock because the stock price fell Smart teammates and interesting work Flexible work-from-home policy Generous ESPP plan Beautiful campus Great pay I can't say enough good things about NVIDIA lol

Cons

No annual cash bonus, though raises and stock refreshers are good Have to inform your manager before internal transfer, which discourages doing it

Pros

Comp (salary, RSUs) is good, ESPP is solid, CEO is passionate and his vision is far-reaching, wide variety of technologies across the company to choose from.

Cons

Networking business unit is run incredibly top-down, stifling ideas, passion, constructive criticism, improvements and feedback from the boots on the ground. Difficult to manage up or extend influence in team/product direction. Metrics have become self-serving, existing only to provide upper management self-justification rather than actually tracking indicators of useful outcomes. BU-specific policies directly contradict CEO messaging regarding culture in company all-hands. NBU employees are required to work-from-office 3x/week and open reqs have been revoked for teams not meeting in-office attendance quota. PTO requests for >1 week require approval from 4 levels of NBU management. The "top priority" changes multiple times a week, making it difficult to effectively dedicate time/effort towards driving a task from start to finish.
