Pros

* Get to work with cutting edge technology. * Lots of opportunities for leadership/ownership. * Work independence, less micro management. * Work life balance. No on-calls or anything like that. No one ever asks to work on weekends unless something is really really burning. * Less conventional practices which eat developer's time like strict sprint planning, daily stand ups etc. * India offices not treated as secondary work offices. Many teams in India with complete ownership of important modules. * Free food, fruits, snacks, transportation. No nonsensical frugality here.

Cons

* Salaries are good but sometimes not at par with other companies which employ engineers of same caliber as Nvidia. * Work space is always neglected. Nothing much in break area, no gyms, no dormitories, less cube spaces.

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.
