Advice to Senior Management

i would like to suggest management and leadership to motivate people by comparing the opportunities with other companies and all.

Pros

Continues to be a great place to work. Lots of very smart people, generally working together very effectively, and lots of challenging engineering problems to solve. You will learn a lot and have fun doing it. I would recommend working here to anyone - its not perfect, but overall it is a very rewarding experience, both intellectually and financially.
The company is transitioning from being a GPU leader in the dying PC market, to trying to be a leader in the new world of mobile devices. Chances are it will succeed, but there is a lot of struggle ahead.

Cons

Frantic pace of project to get to market can be tiring, and you have to defend you own work/life balance, as management won't. Project decision making process is rather ad hoc.

Advice to Senior Management

Try to avoid going too high end in the Tegra market. There need to be a mainstream business too.
Go back to giving stock options and drop the almost worthless RSUs.

Pros

Work life balance. Good benefits. Top of the notch technology. Competitive salaries. It is good to have all the above mentioned together.

Cons

I am not sure whether I can specifically say something here. It is a very good place to work as much as I know. Maybe salaries can be increased more on the review.

Pros

The team I worked with was amazing, they helped me and kept up to date throughout the whole time I was there.

Cons

There were times when my manager and I didnt get along, it was really hard for me to talk to my manager in general.

Pros

Talented People and cutting edge work.
Keeps you busy.
Good health plan.
2 Year lock for Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Free Dinner.

Cons

Unfriendly work environment. Although people are talented, there is too much of attitude. Too many emails and people do not like in-person interaction.

Lack of work and life balance. Poor Project schedule planning. Always the schedule slips more than a year.

There is no growth for Individual contributors.

There is no compensation based on performance. No bonus and they do not give good no. of RSUs any more. Its pretty much your base salary. No 401K matching.

There is no Paid Time Off. They call it, Professional Time Off which means you talk to your manage and get as much as vacation. Who in the world allows you to take a long vacation. When ever you ask your manager, he/she says, we can't give you more than two weeks due to schedule.

Lots of dis-satisfied employees that's reducing the people efficiency.

There lots of people leaving the company and the management is not putting much effort in stopping that.

Managers do not care about their employees. Employees are frequently moved to different managers in a short time. Sometime that really affects the reviews.

Overall its not a employee oriented company.

Advice to Senior Management

Mr.Huang has to get out of his past glory dream and look at the realistic picture. You always talk about your importance of your leaders. End of the day, employees are the one making things successful. I could really see the company is going in the negative direction.

Pros

Cutting Edge on Technology advancements
Love the work
Love the camaraderie in my team
Proud of the work we do and the company
RESPECT our CEO!

Cons

Bad recognition for your work in terms of compensation
Internal politics and Favoritism
Middle Managers are clueless. Not trained well for the job, they dont work smart. They work hard.
Exisiting Employees who have worked for a long time are not given much importance, atleast in Pune.
Focus not on employee retention
Quantity work and presentations more imp to management than quality
Processes and methods are not well set. New mistakes lead to new processes, but old mistakes and teachings are forgotten

Advice to Senior Management

Make Employee Retention your No. 1 Priority, even in India
Create Advice forums, listen to employee feedbacks and advice
Set up Management reviews as well from Employee POV

Pros

Challenging Assignments and working on cutting edge technology & solutions. Recognition of indivial contribution at all levels. Good team spirit and excellent growth within the company

Cons

Limited growth opportunities for team members working as Independent Contributors compared to those in people management positions. Role of ICs in the overall growth of company is not clearly appreciated yet

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.
