Pros

Nvidia might not be as big as some other big players of the Bay Area, but I love the work ethics. They really seem to care about you, about the environment, about charities, about helping society. I love the culture of transparency, where everything is shared with everyone. You really never feel like they are cheating or trying to take advantage of you, except maybe when it comes to "unlimited vacations", which essentially means that the more you take, the worst you feel. Another strong point is to feel heard. Whether through the suggestion box, through yearly surveys or any other channel, at Nvidia you have a voice. Overall a great place to work!

Cons

Vacation policy. It would be so much more honest to have a set number of days, with flexibility around it, instead of a vague and abstract concept of unlimited vacation.

Pros

Exciting work. Interesting problems to solve. Coworkers are mostly easy to talk to and mostly everyone is trying to get things done instead of doing politics. So things actually get done quickly, which is already better than a lot of other companies in general..

Cons

Food is horrible. HR responses to various suggestions are very political -- nothing gets done until higher management takes notice. Mis-managed/dead projects teams do not work. Company POR changes quickly so it's sometimes hard to avoid such teams when you first join. Compensation is less than peer tech companies.
