Pros

Most people are great to work with. Base pay is excellent and work/life balance can be achieved. Lots of autonomy means you can explore.

Cons

The lack of upfront planning and decisiveness means lots and lots of thrash downstream in the product life cycle. No bonus or raises for several years now means stagnant compensation.

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.
