It's always a crisis

Senior hardware engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

NVIDIA is chock full of really talented people. Most of the engineers and managers I dealt with were technically top-notch, and very knowledgeable about graphics.

Cons

Engineers are spread around the projects like peanut butter. You don't have much of a project identify, since you get moved from project to project according to the whims of management. The pace is hectic, and the company seems to always run in crisis mode.

Not a bad place to work...

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Technically one of the best companies around when it comes to innovation. Love working on killer new products in multiple market segments. The CEO is totally kick ass, rock solid, and does a great job.

Cons

Working long hours kinda stinks. Long days make for more mistakes than are necessary. Cafe stinks! Food is terrible and even with the recent re-branding, not much has improved. Stock compensation is pretty low compared to other employers. No compensation increases for some time now. Kind of bums people out.
