Pros

With the move towards Tegra, the company culture has changed for SW. There is a wide spectrum of opportunities in various technologies. Jensen's move towards Tegra was a very wise one. Management is fiercely loyal towards old timers that have contributed a lot. There is sufficient room for technical growth. Lots of promotions all around as the company size grows.

Cons

Very fast moving company, documentation not at par with larger companies. Not necessarily easy for new comers to come up to speed fast.

Pros

Management is competent and actually cares about employee welfare. Jensen is the least sociopathic CEO I've ever worked under. The work has been interesting and I was actually allowed to do things right, and not just "right now".

Cons

The company is 3X the size it was when I joined, with all the usual problems of massive growth. And of course the AI hype at Nvidia is intense.

Pros

NVIDIA's PTO and Sick policies are compassionate and generous. Managers listen to employees' ideas. Employees get to work on a wider variety of projects than expected, and usually work closely with other teams to get things done. Collaboration is tight almost all of the time.

Cons

Employees don't always get insight into why they were assigned a particular project, or have much if any choice about what projects they get to work on. Managers are often too busy working on projects themselves to have the free time to meet with employees on a regular basis. This leads to short-term, reactive thinking rather than long-term visionary thinking.
