Pros

Fast-paced work culture Leading edge technology Strongly support telecommuting. They don't care where you are as long as you get your work done. Can be an excellent place to learn the latest technology

Cons

Ultimately you're just a cog in the machinery. Very poor work-life balance. You're constantly expected to always be on the job - tethered to your blackberry. If you get pigeon-holed into a role, then it can be very difficult to move to a different role. Some managers have the attitude that they are throwing money at you - so just forget about professional growth and do whatever you're told. A lot of talented people tend to turn-off as a result of this attitude.

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.
