Pros

Fast paced. Up-to-date with cutting edge technology

Cons

Poor work-personal life balance. No 401K matching. Poor employee development options, as training opportunities are curtailed in the name of "cost cutting". Favoritism is rampant - Dumb people with a salesman tongue, who regularly have lunch with their managers hog the limelight when it comes to pay hikes. Power hungry managers have utter disdain for the capabilities of other teams. Politics has taken control over what used to be a creative, motivating and fast-paced environment.

Pros

Technical excellence and engineering rigor – Working alongside some of the smartest engineers in the industry. Code reviews, architecture discussions, and performance optimization were taken seriously. Cutting-edge technology – Unparalleled exposure to GPUs, CUDA, AI infrastructure, and low-level systems programming. Truly a place where you can work on problems that define the next decade of computing. Impact – Your work ships in products used by millions of gamers, researchers, and data centers worldwide. That visibility is rare and rewarding. Leadership in AI/ML – NVIDIA is not just riding the AI wave; it’s enabling it. Being at the center of that as an engineer was professionally transformative. Compensation – Competitive salary + RSUs that have appreciated significantly over time. The financial upside for long-term employees has been substantial.

Cons

Internal mobility – Moving between teams (e.g., from automotive to gaming) was harder than promised. Managers sometimes blocked transfers.
