Pros

- Infinite & endless work, but good quality and most of the times challenging - No differentiation of work based on geography. Most of the teams work globally with no work discrimination - Employees are hard working, talented, intelligent & helpful - Great work culture due to flat organization - Fast pace organization creating top class technologies

Cons

- Mediocre compensation. There is pay gap among peer - Non-transparent review process and increments are unrelated to performance - Work-life balance is a big time problem - Most of the time engineers have to resort to lot of manual testing

Pros

- Awesome place for your first job if you are inclined to stay in the hardware device drivers domain - You can interact with top employees of NVidia across the world, learning tons from them in the process. - Top-notch code base, and the code review process is very rigorous, thus helping you hone your skills.

Cons

- Pretty easy to get stagnated in the same role after about 2 years - Managers in Pune are not tech-savvy in general, and would go with the prevailing opinion of their superiors instead of basing decisions on technical details. - To get any meaningful work done, you'd have to work in the same time zone as the HW/SW engineers in Santa Clara, but would still be expected to be seen in office during day time.
