Pros

cafeteria is nice, stock purchase plan, good salary, cool products. Free gear quarterly at the gear store. IT is very helpful and fast at responding to your problems.

Cons

Extremely long hours, cut-throat attitude from management. Personally no respect given to regular employees, poor choice in promoting incompetent people to management. Parking is an issue. Not much room for career advancement, at least not in my current position.

NVIDIA's not perfect but it's definitely great.

Pros

There are tons of extremely intelligent people to work with; NVIDIA offers decent compensation (not quite as glamorous as Google, but pretty standard offerings including full health benefits and decent stock option benefits with a faster vesting schedule than other companies I've worked for). Also, NVIDIA provides employees with all the latest cool computer toys you could possibly imagine - obviously, high-end video cards, but also gorgeous monitors.

Cons

There are a lot of people here who work very long hours, and if you aren't careful you can easily end up burning out. The company doesn't do 401k contribution matching, which I was surprised to find out. Parking is kind of difficult sometimes at the Santa Clara office because of how many people we have in our offices.
