Pros

Looks good on resume. Even that will likely go away in the near future.

Cons

ZERO sense of urgency. No pulse on campus. Desktop PC going extinct, Intel attacking margin-rich Quadro with Xeon-Phi, Qualcomm crushing Tegra, Icera modem roadmap not competitive, Analysts not understanding roadmap, internal roadmap changing weekly. No 401K matching, ESPP is no longer a bonus as the stock continues to tank, hardly any bonuses.

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.
