NVIDIA reviews

This is an update to a review I posted about a year ago. During this time, my experience at NVIDIA has taken a sharp turn downward. * The only reward for good work at NVIDIA is more work: if you do well you will just get more tasks piled on yourself. You will _not_ get a (significant) bonus, a promotion, or a team. * NVIDIA hires really good people and give them an unreasonable amount of work. Almost everyone is drowning in work and emails. (I have 40-50 hours of meetings every week, plus 300-500 emails per day to respond to.) The company gets away with this by hiring really good people who try to do the best for their business, but in the end its just exploitation since they don't give anything back. * As was pointed out in several other reviews: EStaff is in very weak. 80% of them are Jensen's buddies since the early days. They have made $50-200M each, know they won't get fired, and that they will never get promoted. So they play with their pet projects and zoom in to micromanage what interests them. * Non-existent HR policy: there are _no_ promotion paths. You will stay at the level you were hired at. What makes this fact extra sour is that there is a huge number of under performers at director level and above. * Compensation looks good on paper and on comparison sites like this one, but one you realize there are no 401k contributions the story isn't so pretty anymore. In short: avoid. The only good reason to join NVIDIA is if you want some quick experience, but make sure you have an exit plan.

Arrogant people think they are god. Toxic politics and culture. Big red flag.
