Advice to Senior Management

Keep the good work, spend time to listen or work with your employees.
Finalize the POR and changes at the early design stage, do not change too many times.

Pros

The pay for the work is good.

Cons

People mistreat people to survive. A lot of bullying, credit stealing and backstabbing.

Pros

Nvida is a good place to learn and grow. Provides a healthy, competitive environment.

Cons

Absolutely hard to balance personal time because of demanding schedules and work culture. Employees are required/expected to work round the clock/weekends. No big benefits. Salary compensation is not good as years progress.

Pros

if you work hard, you can learn quite a lot from a beginner since you have so much to do.

Cons

a lot of "rude" people around. you will get tired after some years. no 401k, no bonus, no PTO. no matter how good the company do, you only get your own salary, nothing more. wait, CEO mentinoned you can get ESPP.

Advice to Senior Management

working culture is bad. compensation sucks. employee needs PTO 401k etc.

Pros

There is a lot of cool stuff happening as this company reinvents itself from just pushing pixels to pushing data around everywhere. NVIDIA is very open internally, so it's very easy to see the level of excitement flowing around; it's nice to generally know about what's happening around you, too.

Cons

NVIDIA is organized to pinch pennies, be it in the compute infrastructure or in employee compensation. Everybody works very hard, but compensation is subpar for the industry; benefits (401k matching?) similarly lack.

Pros

Flexible work conditions (hours, location).

Semi-annual review process is pretty well done --- definitely a meritocracy.

Company does annual survey of employees to try to improve, but then it doesn't necessarily act on the results.

Interesting projects.

Pretty good support for personal development.

Cons

Not as much collaborative engineering as I had hoped.

Compensation adjustment pool varies randomly from year to year so increase in level of performance doesn't necessarily result in increased compensation.

Pros

cutting edge technology, upcoming leader in SOC business.

Cons

working hard but pay is not above market average, unless you find competitive offer or fight hard for salary increase.

Advice to Senior Management

please do pay better, so that we don't spend time looking elsewhere.

Pros

Good work, great culture, flexible working hours, open door policy

Cons

A lot work
Not very high compensation/bonus

Advice to Senior Management

More perks to employees and more team funds to spend in team building outings

Pros

Very progressive company, keep pushing the frontline of this industry. Come up with new awesome products each year. I worked in Mobile department. The working hour was flexible and you can WAH however most people there work overtime.

Cons

Project managers most of the time have no idea about the workload you have. That makes job assignment uneven across the team.

Pros

Got to start coding right away, great work culture, had a lot of intern activities

Cons

code not documented too well
