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.

Pros

Cutting edge technology! Many challenges are in here since most of the products NV making is very unique and highly integrated. You could have a lot of fun for pursuing cutting edge technologies and see how were they eventually realized to products.

Cons

Poor benefit and no sick day. If you are sick, you have to use your vacation. Compensation is very much depanding on stock price. Typically, you need to stay at work for more than 8 hrs. If you are work-life balance seeker, this place definitely not for you. Due to the very fast pace of product developement schedule, you soon realize you are becoming exceution machine not innovative thinker.

Pros

Fast paced and stimulating. It's good if you enjoy a challenge and are willing to learn. There are a lot of interesting problems to work on. There's a strong culture. There is relatively little management and everyone is well versed in technology. The company isn't driven by sales and marketing.

Cons

The company doesn't stop. Expect to move from one hot issue to the next without a rest. Expect long hours and large amounts of work. Be prepared to have the company's bottom line pushed at you. You should also expect to be blamed for issues that arise, either from other teams or customers. Talent is recognized, but slow to be compensated.
