Pros

Some of the most extremely smart individuals work here and build some of the worlds best technologies. Having access to that on a 1-1 level is something you can’t beat. Getting to be apart of the feedback on applications and hardware that will change the world is also a one of a kind experience. Pay and benefits are very nice, along with the campus.

Cons

There is a huge problem with project planning and communication. Jensen and potentially some other higher ups seem to start planing for their major keynote events within the same month of the event leaving everyone handling these events to work extreme hours, and for a CEO that owns a graphics company ironically seems to lack understanding of the processes and pipelines within graphics and expects large creative projects to be turned around sometimes by the hour or day. It can be a challenging and emotional crunch with longer hours than you’ve ever experienced. You can expect to work through Christmas holidays on some teams for example, I’ve seen it. Some of the leaders try to offer time off for this issue but it can be a pretty spontaneous decision and hard to plan for and it’s difficult to get longer vacations for trips so most of the time off you end up being local. This overall issue is so monumentally problematic that it also is weighing heavily on my opinions for career opportunities, culture and value, and ceo outlook.

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.
