Pros

Flexible work conditions (hours, location). Semi-annual review process is pretty well done --- definitely a meritocracy. Company does annual survey of employees to try to improve, but then it doesn't necessarily act on the results. Interesting projects. Pretty good support for personal development.

Cons

Not as much collaborative engineering as I had hoped. Compensation adjustment pool varies randomly from year to year so increase in level of performance doesn't necessarily result in increased compensation.

Pros

Technical excellence and engineering rigor – Working alongside some of the smartest engineers in the industry. Code reviews, architecture discussions, and performance optimization were taken seriously. Cutting-edge technology – Unparalleled exposure to GPUs, CUDA, AI infrastructure, and low-level systems programming. Truly a place where you can work on problems that define the next decade of computing. Impact – Your work ships in products used by millions of gamers, researchers, and data centers worldwide. That visibility is rare and rewarding. Leadership in AI/ML – NVIDIA is not just riding the AI wave; it’s enabling it. Being at the center of that as an engineer was professionally transformative. Compensation – Competitive salary + RSUs that have appreciated significantly over time. The financial upside for long-term employees has been substantial.

Cons

Internal mobility – Moving between teams (e.g., from automotive to gaming) was harder than promised. Managers sometimes blocked transfers.
