      My life is not my own

      Pros

      Jen-hsun is an incredible leader with a vision that has made the company the giant that it is today. Innovation that sets the direction for all others to follow.

      Cons

      With growth comes problems, the company is not the nimble leader as it was 10 years ago. Now it is bogged down with folks more worried about how the look to those above them then how good the product is. There is an added expectation that you work around the clock since we are a global company. This has lead to have a big negative impact on my family where vacations had to be cancelled all for the sake of a KPI that was never achievable in the first place. The pay is bellow market and in the past options were to make up for that. Now with RSU’s the stock grants are a joke and the pay is still subpar. The biggest problem is the required time you have to put in. When you work for NVIDIA, your life is not your own. It is theirs and it will burn you out like no other.

      Don't believe the hype

      Pros

      You'll quickly be working on interesting, relevant, timely problems. The company at large seems great, but your experience is highly dependent on which area you're in. Nice benefits and perks.

      Cons

      Directors pitted against each other and tons of duplicative work happening -- I guess NVIDIA has the money to do that. Despite being "transparent" and "flat," everything is "talk to your manager" and you can't even find out someone's job family/major department, so it's highly hierarchical and opaque, despite what they say. I've been warned multiple times as a relatively newer person, not to cross certain leaders or provide genuine feedback, as they will protect certain folks at all costs, whether you mean well or not. Folks in my area work 4-8 hour days on the weekends and regularly work late at night and early in the morning, outside usual working hours for their timezone.

      Probably the best company I've worked for in 30+ year career

      Senior software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      NVIDIA walks the walk. They have standards for how people should be treated, and they live up to it. They pay very well, and have generous ESPP and 401K matching programs. They also encourage people who are interested in working on something new to move internally - that keeps your team's perspectives fresh. One story I heard illustrates the heart of the company: I joined in the middle of the worst of the pandemic, when everything was locked down. NVIDIA has a big campus in Santa Clara, and that was likewise shut down. The company that provided the on-site food for employees was obviously not needed, but the CEO, Jensen Huang, decide to keep paying them so that they wouldn't have to lay off their people. The money was already budgeted, so rather that treat it as a windfall for NVIDIA, he made sure that the people from the catering service could still make their mortgage payments and support their families. Now that's a company I could be proud to work for!

      Cons

      Health insurance: unless you're in California, the coverage options are limited to Cigna, and none of my doctors accepted Cigna.
