Pros

Development at NVIDIA is fast paced. As a general rule, the engineers are smart and have a lot to teach. The benefits are pretty good and the stock compensation still generates substantial value for employees

Cons

NVIDIA has been having growing pains. Many engineers were hired as a result of the success of the Tesla chips, and it took a lot of time for them to ramp up. Other infrastructure (IT, internal web services, development process) are still lagging behind and are more or less unchanged from when the company was 1/4 of the current size. Also, during the recession, many benefits were cut or downsized and they show no signs of returning

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.
