Pros
If you do not care about work, you want to socialize, or to play games, you got it, that's a place for you.
Cons
There is no other place in the Bay Area where management has so much power over Engineers. In NVIDIA Engineer = Slave, each engineer is a slave for at least one manager, there are many cases where if you do a good job you get moved around between 2 or 3 managers. This way many managers can enjoy your services.... Loyalty and years serving the company is the only thing that matters. If you are a good performer and you do your job right, management will make sure you work alone, management will make sure you are isolated. As long as you keep quite and you never question your managers, things go well. Some VPs are plain borderline criminals, if they were not working for NVIDIA you would say they were part of the godfather trilogy. They never achieved anything in their career, they are just friends of the big boss.
