Pros

1. Very flexible company for employees. Very few formalities like mandatory weekly meetings, etc. Communication is done on a much more ad hoc (and efficient) way. 2. Products you'll work on are almost all cutting-edge and challenging. The people here seem to all have the common mentality of making advanced, industry-leading tech. This makes it both inspirational and challenging. 3. Little to no BS to get in the way of work and there is a lot of focus on improving productivity and efficiency.

Cons

1. Compensation is not where it should be. The base salaries seem high but the yearly rewards are nowhere near as good as other companies. Expect what you get when you accept the offer to be what you'll get at the company. 2. Work can get demanding but there aren't many benefits to make the workplace more comfortable. Obvious things like an on-site gym, shuttle services or even public transit subsidies would help greatly.

Pros

Challenging job where there is a ton of respect and openness. Great pay, benefits, and time off. Management is always looking to improve environment and performance.

Cons

Can get a bit a fast paced and you have to trust in yourself when facing challenges.

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.
