    Great company with generous benefits

    Sep 20, 2019 - Senior ASIC Design Engineer in Santa Clara, CA

    CEO Approval

    Pros

    Visionary CEO and competent management Talented colleagues Supports career skills development and internal transfers Work life balance Gourmet food in cafeteria 6 months maternity / 4 months paternity leave

    Cons

    Pay is above average but not enough to comfortably raise a family in Silicon Valley (but the company offers several commuter benefits to make it easier to commute from affordable places) Lot of redundancy in hiring (helps with work life balance but downside is that you become easily replaceable and it's harder to get promoted)

    Great Employees! Middling Compensation

    Jul 21, 2015 -  in Santa Clara, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    NVIDIA had a great bunch of employees. The engineers weren't engaged in turf wars or internal politics. You could always depend on someone helping you out if faced with a new problem. The work was fast paced. Work life balance also improved a lot in the last few years that I was there

    Cons

    Middling compensation package. No RSU's/stocks/bonuses. Only base salary that is a bit higher than industry normal

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    When you are young & strong, NVIDIA gives you the best environment to channelize all your energies; the environment is aggressive, the management is honest and growth opportunities aplenty. Huge responsibilities are just thrown people and those who can swim upstream have everything to gain.

    Cons

    Work life balance takes a hit; You just cannot balance your life without ruffling a few feathers. If you are one that likes to maintain that rich gamut of hobbies, sorry dude this is not the right place for you.
