Pros

1. Good pay, one of the best in India. 2. Smart peers from whom you can learn. Mostly helpful. 3. Managers are respectful towards your leaves. No interruptions when you are on holidays. 3. A lot of relevant virtual (due to pandemic) events being organized which allows you to be fit, social and healthy. Depends on your team/manager if you'd get time to attend these.

Cons

1. One of the best places to work (only if you end up under a good manager). 2. About my team, I used to get lot of planned and unplanned work irrespective of if I was comfortable or not, there is explicit expectations set from manager to work long hours. You can't refuse to work long hours, you'll still get asked to work longer hours even if you try to resist.

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.
