Pros

- Good place to retire unless you have misgivings about you retiring as a senior management guy. That ain't happen at NV. - Good place for people who enjoy a lack luster career at the cost of the freebies thrown. - Good place for those who enjoy organizational politics - If you are looking for utopia then it is NV- be sure that you are subdued,submissive to your manager and kill your ideas and ideologies. If you are willing to forget and forgive your team not being properly compensated and rewarded and collude with your manager then this is the best place for a personal growth.

Cons

-Bad place to work if you go by the rule book of NV core value of "Intellectually Honesty". You will be shot pretty soon straight in the temple - Bad place if you don't like local politics with a compounded situation of senior management overseas behaving like "an ostrich with its head in the sand". -Lack of direction and focus on the road map ( they do know the road, it is just that they are finding it difficult to figure the way to the destination)

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.

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.
