Pros

Money. Free food. free transport. RSU based on performance for a period of 4 years.

Cons

No work life balance. No appreciation for work and effort. Unrealistically high expectations. No knowledge sharing. No learning opportunities. Under employed company resulting into excessive workload. Manager won't even listen to suggestions for improvement within team as they believe they have exceptionally outstanding work culture. They still use very old tools with CLi for code management which results into wastage of time. Indian Manager try to save their collar resulting into they being toxic and unjust. More you deliver more they expect without any appreciation. Everbody just trying to save their job. Generally they have employees working for many years in the same project with no understanding of what is going on in the technical world.

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.
