    NVIDIA Senior ASIC Design Engineer:   (Current Employee)

    Pros

    The name - sounds cool to work here - gaming/video/compute - but that's about it

    Cons

    culture - Nvidia does have a pretty strong external image, however, when it comes to internal corporate culture, it's simply lacking. They don't spend any effort to develop a healthy culture and there's little sense of belonging or pride of the company running within. In the engineering department, everyone is just concerned about getting their job done (which is never) and leave - so there's little people interaction besides talking about work. The culture is so broken, that ppl overly email one another and cc everyone (just to save their own ), when sometimes what it takes is just a phone call or walk up to the person to resolve the issue. People just don't feel belong, except the executive management who still foolishly thinks they're building a great company that ppl are proud to work for.

    nature of work - work is so broken down, that one person just do a little bit of the entire project and you tend to do the same thing over and over again - because management does care little if you are happy to be working on what you're working on - they just want to get the job done and whoever is assigned to a task without a thoughtful consideration or taking into employee's wish into account.

    career track - middle management care less about your career track - first, there's little advancement, and they tried to nickle and dime you by delaying your promotion as long as they can. The company treats each employee as a "worker", who "completes a task and move onto the next assigned task". So there's little thoughts/process in place as to how one can advance. There's little training provided, and there's no encouragement from the middle management to go for any kind of eternal training - after all, they just care that you finished what you've been assigned.

    benefits - ever since the executive management mis-directed the company with poor product planning (way before the financial crisis of 2008 kicked in), they blamed everything on the economy, and used it as an excuse to cut every conceivable benefits possible: no more subsidized lunch, no more PTO, no more service award, no more tuition reimbursement, meagre RSU grant, salary cut - everything done to save them face (cut cost to help improve bottom line) and demoralize everyone while not fixing the real issue. What's more ridiculous is hearing our CEO repeatedly boasted his $1/yr salary as a way to justify all these cuts (a.k.a., "i'm going thru the same pain as u") when he still has millions in stock options - stop those nonsense please.

    Advice to Senior Management

    get rid of the middle management who does nothing but to save their job and screw up this company. get out of your bubble in which you think everyone is enthusiastic about the company. Stop wasting so much time on improving your prestige and company's image (with all those silly community work) when you can't ever keep your house in order.

    Listen to your rank-and-file employee (bypass those useless middle management) Provide a channel to receive feedback.
