Pros

The compensation and RSUs are competitive — probably the one thing they get right. If money is your sole priority, you’ll be paid well. But make no mistake, it comes at a cost.

Cons

Work-life balance simply does not exist here. The culture is laser-focused on revenue and output, with little regard for the actual people doing the work. Burnout is not the exception — it’s the norm. Leadership is one of the biggest issues. Managers are promoted because they excelled as individual contributors, not because they have any real leadership ability. The result is a management layer that doesn’t know how to support, develop, or advocate for their teams. The environment is genuinely toxic. There’s a persistent undercurrent of stress and anxiety that affects your mental and physical health over time. I watched good people deteriorate — and eventually leave. If you value your wellbeing, keep looking. There are better places to grow your career without sacrificing your health.

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.
