Pros

Pros are a flat hierarchy and the ability to make a difference and be heard. I work with a great group of people who do more with less. We all work hard in our group and turn out a tremendous amount of work considering our small team.

Cons

Our Finance department does not do a good job of budgeting for the various business units. Business units should be trusted to manage their own annual budgets once it has been reviewed and approved by Finance. Instead, what happens is each purchase req is re-analyzed again for each submittal. Definitely not speed of light. Finance should only be in the approval chain once a business unit has shown they cannot manage their approved budgets and are over what was approved at the beginning of the year.

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.
