Pros

Fast paced. Up-to-date with cutting edge technology

Cons

Poor work-personal life balance. No 401K matching. Poor employee development options, as training opportunities are curtailed in the name of "cost cutting". Favoritism is rampant - Dumb people with a salesman tongue, who regularly have lunch with their managers hog the limelight when it comes to pay hikes. Power hungry managers have utter disdain for the capabilities of other teams. Politics has taken control over what used to be a creative, motivating and fast-paced environment.

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.
