Pros

The paychecks didn't bounce and I didn't get cafeteria food poisoning.

Cons

The mobile/Tegra division is a failure. The only company that uses the Tegra chip is Nvidia itself for its own niche products: the Nvidia Shield and Nvidia tablet. It's only a matter of time before this entire division is sold off or shut down. The documentation group merely cleans up engineering docs, adding punctuation and fixing misspellings. Its run by a sadistic micro-manager who will sabotage your projects so she can swoop in and play superhero to save the day. The only writers who stay are low self-esteem victims and masochists who believe the manager's dysfunctional behavior comes from her deep concern for their well-being. A classic abusive environment. If you're a masochist or someone who feels they deserve to be psychologically belittled, you'll find a home here. All others, keep away.

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.
