Pros

Industry still ranks NVIDIA highly on resume

Cons

Majority of company hasn't seen a pay increase or bonus in 3 years. Instead, pay-cuts and removal of multiple employee incentives. Senior Execs have no clue on products being made and only remain in position because CEO is loyal to a fault. No career advancement, no compensation for exceptional achievements, and a pipeline of inferior products. Absolutely insane product schedules that get missed by several months seem to be a regular situation with products despite input from engineering giving ample notice and feedback to avoid in the future. Senior Execs stick head in sand and pretend nothing is wrong. If you're the one bringing up issues or highlighting a fault with a product, you get heckled despite company claims of valuing "intellectual honesty". NVDA still thinks it is a startup and runs accordingly. At the current size, that means total chaos with the occasional "lucky product" that saves the day.

Pros

Most other reviews have hit the nail on the head in my opinion. The technology here is bleeding edge and that makes it "cool" to work here for a bit. There is also absolutely zero office politics and emphasis is purely on getting the job done.

Cons

Unfortunately, the positives of NVIDIA end there. The work atmosphere is good, but not great. People are very antisocial and come for the sole purpose of getting their job done to get higher performance numbers. A new-comer has extreme trouble getting adjusted to the company. Work starts to pile up slowly. You work standard 40 hour weeks, then you are asked to do something "extra" just for this week. This extra time then becomes your standard time. Before people know it, their standard time is about 70 hours per week and you work on Sundays. Work life balance is not existent.

Pros

Nvidia is a very flexible place when it comes to policies. A very competitive place to be in, hires best of people around. Project Execution is the priority. Decisions are quick, risk taking is very high. Overall lot of action...

Cons

If you are not disciplined, then work-life balance is screwed. There could be big disparity in salaries, fair compensation need not be a concern for the company. Look out for managers ready to stab in the name of culture.. There is no skip levels, feedback always flows downwards..., so if you are in a position of power, you can screw your reportees, smile to top management and still walk away with a fat pay check.
