Pros

ESPP, Medical insurance Cheap food lunch and dinner

Cons

- Vacation policy favors Nvidia, those worked there for a while know it well. - There is No work/life balance - There are many legacy and old engineering methods from end of 20 century - There are many inexperienced cheap college grads hirings or H1 with little guidance. There are also some experienced graphics expert engineers but overall department lacks them. There are many bad hard to change codes not having quality. There are many decisions by unskilled decision makers trained by inexperienced who don't hold accountability themselves. - Short incremental product cycles to stay ahead of competition (Nvidia obsoletes its own product from fear of competition), there are many bugs inherited from past. - Some difficult people who are not managed well - Some good engineers are overloaded therefore not executing well or not leading who eventually fail. It is uneven work load organization.

Pros

The product security organization has a very ideal work-life balance. The culture is strong on ownership and trust. There is a good sense of pride and collaboration across teams with low level of politics and high sense of "the project is the boss". Compensation is good for the roles. Merit increases and promotions are mostly transparent, but can vary from manager to manager.

Cons

Leadership direction can be whiplash at some times. Some initiatives feel directionless, while others feel misguided. Leadership does respond to push back and listens to employees though, but it often feels like managing up.
