Pros

You can meet great collegues and if you are lucky with management you can have a freedom to work on the topics you consider interesting and important with little pressure and change of direction every few months. Great work/life balance. And of course you can publish your work even in ML/robotics areas.

Cons

Depending on the team, but bureaucracy can be quite a limiting factor. Compensation is on the lower spectrum compared to other top tier companies. If not a rate of stock price growth it would be a disaster.

Pros

Management is competent and actually cares about employee welfare. Jensen is the least sociopathic CEO I've ever worked under. The work has been interesting and I was actually allowed to do things right, and not just "right now".

Cons

The company is 3X the size it was when I joined, with all the usual problems of massive growth. And of course the AI hype at Nvidia is intense.

Pros

NVIDIA's PTO and Sick policies are compassionate and generous. Managers listen to employees' ideas. Employees get to work on a wider variety of projects than expected, and usually work closely with other teams to get things done. Collaboration is tight almost all of the time.

Cons

Employees don't always get insight into why they were assigned a particular project, or have much if any choice about what projects they get to work on. Managers are often too busy working on projects themselves to have the free time to meet with employees on a regular basis. This leads to short-term, reactive thinking rather than long-term visionary thinking.
