Pros

Nvidia does not have any pros.

Cons

Indian management is dummy. All is controlled by there bosses in US. The management does not have a spine to speak over an issue. Apart from that you spend your precious time while installing the OS over and over again. Most of the occasion you work on bugs. Soon you will forget whatever you learnt in your college. Very few company which work in the domain in which nvidia is working. It is difficult to switch job if you stick there for too long. You can join nvidia if you are very innovative about how to kill your time.

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.
