Pros

Most other reviews have hit the nail on the head in my opinion. The technology here is bleeding edge and that makes it "cool" to work here for a bit. There is also absolutely zero office politics and emphasis is purely on getting the job done.

Cons

Unfortunately, the positives of NVIDIA end there. The work atmosphere is good, but not great. People are very antisocial and come for the sole purpose of getting their job done to get higher performance numbers. A new-comer has extreme trouble getting adjusted to the company. Work starts to pile up slowly. You work standard 40 hour weeks, then you are asked to do something "extra" just for this week. This extra time then becomes your standard time. Before people know it, their standard time is about 70 hours per week and you work on Sundays. Work life balance is not existent.

Pros

The product security organization has a very ideal work-life balance. The culture is strong on ownership and trust. There is a good sense of pride and collaboration across teams with low level of politics and high sense of "the project is the boss". Compensation is good for the roles. Merit increases and promotions are mostly transparent, but can vary from manager to manager.

Cons

Leadership direction can be whiplash at some times. Some initiatives feel directionless, while others feel misguided. Leadership does respond to push back and listens to employees though, but it often feels like managing up.
