Pros

The company culture is designed for engineers to be able to do their best work. Honesty is rewarded, covering up is not. That's unusual in the tech world. Rank and seniority don't mean a lot. If your idea is good, it doesn't matter who you are or how long you've been here. Lots of people here who literally wrote the book on their technological specialty. Zero tolerance for ethnic/racial/gender/age discrimination. That's not from HR, it's everywhere. Do or say something that appeals to stereotype or prejudice and people think you're an idiot. Maybe that's how things are in 2019 techworld, but it sure is refreshing. The commitment to reducing our environmental footprint is genuine. The stuff I've fought for at other companies along those lines is already happening here. Company strongly encourages commuting by bike, public transit, carpool or work from home.

Cons

IT is under-resourced, and gets snookered by consultants and the occasional snake oil salesman.

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.
