Pros

Leadership at NVIDIA brings the best out of each nvidian

Cons

Nothing I can see as a CONS at this point of time...

Advice to Senior Management

Not at this time , so would like to reserve the comments

Pros

Always on the cutting edge, always busy. Never a dull moment. No laggards. Everybody works hard, and for the most part, mutual respect for technical competence is there. Wonderful opportunity to learn new and old technologies.

Cons

Long term planning for individuals and teams is non-existent. This leads to attrition. Also very stressful environment mainly because of lack of planning, and secondly because of too few engineers to do too many projects.

Advice to Senior Management

Be very transparent about focal review process and be very objective in pay hikes and promotions.

Pros

Lots of Bright people, cool technologies

Cons

Taxing at times, still a small company mentality

Advice to Senior Management

When Nvidia is looking to enter into volume spaces like Mobile, tablets they should think like volume provider and not like Niche player

Pros

Nvidia - Bangalore is a great place in terms of culture , work and learning. Lead by a really good director and a fairly good senior management team (HR , ADMIN etc) who give you the freedom to work like the way you want to as long as you perform well. So far they have been good at keeping Politics as low as possible. Hope that continues.
Apart from the above , opportunities to work on cutting edge technology , travel abroad and good mentors make this a great place to be.

Cons

Survival of the fittest all the time !
Once you stop performing its hard to survive at Nvidia. Sometimes folks just need a break !

Advice to Senior Management

Open up communication more than what it is now!

Pros

- *Used to* have some of the best talents in the world
- Arbitrary work assignments leading to few lucky people getting good work regardless of experience
- Best place to work for 1-2 years if you want to do MS/Phd later
- Company has overall a good reputation outside
- One of the best CEO's around the world

Cons

- No or very limited employee benefits and rewards
- Too many project cancellations . company is on the downfall from last 3 years
- Too many managers and leads than working force leading to more work per employee
- Company makes sure that it wouldn't give any compensation / benefits to retain the employees
- Lot of politics. Work contributions are not valued. What is more valued is how many managers and HR contacts does one have
- Slipping the deadlines has become a habit for the company. Unrealistic project deadlines leading to more stress on already lean work force.
- Local managers don't encourage new ideas or methodologies
- Outdated and very old technology and methodology flows
- Core-values are only meant to be on slides. If followed strictly, it leads to total isolation from the team

Advice to Senior Management

It's time for a cleansing ritual. Clean up the middle-level management. Maintain adequate manager to employee ratio. Feedback from the employees should be taken seriously. Have a strategic and *sensible* road map.

Pros

Good Salary
Good Infrastructure
WFH facility

Cons

1. No place for new or great ideas. Putting wings on a Train and are feeling that it will fly is the mantra of nvidia India.
2. No Documentation. Read scripts to understand the flow and read RTL to think about the spec.
2. No growth oppurtinities. Even if you are having 10years of experience and are more capable, they will make you busy in digging and filling type of work. { Three positions: Design Engineer, Sr Design Engineer, <BIGGAP>, Manager }
3. No Team work. Your manager itself will start competing with you in Work. Information sharing within the team is discourged by most of the managers here.
4. Missing Leadership skills. There are more managers than leaders. No way to give feedback to higher management. Like a government company.
5. Very high resistance for any change from flow or design perspective. Very bad technology flow...
6. Heavy mail traffic but no work.

Advice to Senior Management

1. Create Leaders and not Managers, As Leaders can take nvidia up while managers can make their managers happy.

2. Understand people's expectations
3. blah blah blah blah blah
