Pros

Great company with above par industry compensation and benefits. PTO and work from home (remotely anywhere from world) option at your disposal. Great minds to work with where brainstorming doesn't really require a conf room, it can start right at your desk. Perfect work life balance where we don't meet the deadlines, but we rather beat it by miles. Really friendly co-workers and bosses (except a few exceptions) and can walk up to them and start discussing your issues. Great stock options, ESPP plans and RSUs for long term benefits. Flexible HR policies and employee benefits team at Nvidia. Pretty decently stocked pantry with coffee and variety tea options. Free meals 4 times a day. (Room for improvement in quality though). Free to and fro transport to the facility. A place where you can spend the rest of your professional career.

Cons

Company direction not peculated to individuals at times, which means corporate communication is less effective. Limited/nil technology training opportunities within the company. Limited/nil onsite/travel opportunities. Limited GRID related SW dev happening outside Americas. Too much time taken for hiring and decision making. Too much time taken for budget approvals. (May be its different in other sites)

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.
