Pros

Cutting edge technologies; great name recognition; a dynamic CEO and management team always coming up with new ideas to stay ahead of competition; pursuit of "green" ideals; enjoyable all-hands meetings every quarter; solid software architecture conceived from the start of the company, not patchy software modified haphazardly; smart peers; great products to be proud of; good availability of training materials and courses.

Cons

Too focused on graphics, although new technologies are being added to the company's arsenal: SoC, parallel computing, physics processing, etc; people may be unexpectedly loaned to different departments to redistribute resources as needed (exceptionally).

Pros

The employees are in average more talented than anywhere else I have worked. Nvidia products have a great public exposure : this is quite rewarding to go to Frys and see the products I have worked on. Good compensation/benefits package : ESPP is good way to make extra-money. Stock-options can also be a good motivator if you are not afraid of the volatility of the stock

Cons

The company has grown a lot for the last three years, and it starts to weigh on the dynamism and the reactivity of the company. The talent average suffers also from it Too many people tend to "work from home" too often and this is sometimes frustrating. It is tough to compete against Intel and AMD : Nvidia success does not depend only on its hard work.
