NVIDIA Employee Reviews about "long hours"

Pros

You have the opportunity to work on best in class products that are solving real world problems. You're working with other talented engineers that keep the work efficient and agile. Every engineer gets a change to influence change in the products or software shipped to customers. Despite the size of the company many aspects are similar to working for a startup.

Cons

Long hours are not unusual, but employees can typically set their own work/life balance expectations.

Pros

Cutting edge technology Management is willing to take risks and adapt quickly Success in the market means engineers are well supported Many opportunities to develop new skills (engineering or management) Good benefits

Cons

I've heard people gripe about long hours in the lead-up to a new chip release, and for sure that happens, but honestly it is not worse than the 7 other companies I have worked for.

Pros

Very exciting projects, great people. I really want to emphasize that the people I worked with at NVIDIA were some of the most humble but yet knowledgeable and smart people I've ever worked with. I felt very valued as an actual member of the team, and I never felt like I was treated differently from a full-timer for being an intern.

Cons

Very long hours, but that was mostly by choice for me

Pros

Cool projects, smart co-workers, endless opportunities for career growth - constantly learning, good brand name on your resume

Cons

Long hours. Management can be a hit or miss - I interned there twice for two different hardware roles. In my first role, my manager was great - put me in a position to succeed, gave me good mentorship, recognized my accomplishments, etc. During my second term there, my new manager was awful (provided little to no guidance, no recognition of individual efforts/accomplishments, consistent yelling at team members).
