Pros

- Awesome place for your first job if you are inclined to stay in the hardware device drivers domain - You can interact with top employees of NVidia across the world, learning tons from them in the process. - Top-notch code base, and the code review process is very rigorous, thus helping you hone your skills.

Cons

- Pretty easy to get stagnated in the same role after about 2 years - Managers in Pune are not tech-savvy in general, and would go with the prevailing opinion of their superiors instead of basing decisions on technical details. - To get any meaningful work done, you'd have to work in the same time zone as the HW/SW engineers in Santa Clara, but would still be expected to be seen in office during day time.

Pros

* Get to work with cutting edge technology. * Lots of opportunities for leadership/ownership. * Work independence, less micro management. * Work life balance. No on-calls or anything like that. No one ever asks to work on weekends unless something is really really burning. * Less conventional practices which eat developer's time like strict sprint planning, daily stand ups etc. * India offices not treated as secondary work offices. Many teams in India with complete ownership of important modules. * Free food, fruits, snacks, transportation. No nonsensical frugality here.

Cons

* Salaries are good but sometimes not at par with other companies which employ engineers of same caliber as Nvidia. * Work space is always neglected. Nothing much in break area, no gyms, no dormitories, less cube spaces.
