Pros

Very talented engineers working on cutting edge technology; helpful colleagues and I had two great hands-on managers who inspired me a lot. Excellent internal tool for physical design. Compensation was competitive.

Cons

Most of the brain work in Physical design are done by CAD team. Found it tough to switch teams internally, not many products were released in mobile segment then. Company was on the learning curve in a race which is very competitive.

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.
