Great Place to Work -- If Working in GPU Business Unit

Qa engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are many bright folks at Nvidia. Very consistent record of product deliverables. Cafeteria provides lunch up to $5 voucher. Good culture.

Cons

1) Several business units at Nvidia; two of the biggest being their GPU and MCP division. It is promoted as a GPU team by E-Staff. MCP is overlooked in many ways. 2) Current growth may be too fast for their own good. 3) AND ... YES, they do overwork folks. I've known many who have sacrificed there personal lives.

Pros

Good work culture. Open communication. Fast paced environment. You can always walk to anyone's cube to discuss technical problems. The tool flow and methodologies are simple superb. There is a high level of automation in how you design and verify. You learn a lot in different projects.

Cons

You are being treated like a "resource". That means you will always get moved around. You may have core competence in doing "A, B and C", but you may be asked to "D, E and F" because of needs of the projects.

Nvidia hires smart guys and turns them into dumb execution machines

Principal architect

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Engineering execution is good. Nvidia has been a market leader in its field. There are some smart people in the company. The company is aware of its social responsibility. They also spend a decent amount of money on employee growth and learning. I think the company culture is good. Oh and by the way, they have free food (upto $5).

Cons

Lots of arrogant managers who have no clue of what they are doing. Future of nvidia is bleak. Basically smart people are treated like a distributed server farm. Perfect place to become a dumb machine & work like an ass. No innovation. The free food is horribleeeeeee.
