What is the hiring process like at NVIDIA?

Stocks Compensation is ok Prestige Vacation days Remote work Benefits - healthcare & presents

Constant push for “speed-of-light” and features increase, with no regard to the team’s capacity. A lot of pressure, causing stress & burnout. Work/life/war balance is not great. Only respecting workers' mental health on paper, and not in reality, ignoring burnout. Lack of possibility to provide feedback for managers and/or team members. A performance review takes up a third of the year. Slow career growth, the promotions are based only on years worked and managers opinion, not on actual performance and impact. Toxic corporate culture and communication. Micromanagement. Normalized working sick, working on weekends or holidays. Fear of higher management and hiding issues. Lack of planning. No team culture, feeling isolated. Lack of visibility of impact due to the huge scale of the project. Repetitive and routine tasks. Old tools for code & task management. A lot of proprietary knowledge that won't be needed anywhere else. High requirements for new hires, complex and not optimal hiring process, frequent hiring freezes. Too much reliance on AI and its impact on productivity. Political neutrality.

Good, nice people and culture

Initial pay is not great for new hire

- lengthy interview process with several rounds

WLB good and environment are good

Had a tough time with my manager during my internship. He mostly worked from home and didn't come to the office much. Whenever I asked for advice or deeper explanations, I got pretty brief replies that didn't help much. Like, when I needed to choose between option A or B, he’d just say it's all up to me. Looking for any suggestions? "Everything’s good," he’d say. At the end, he told me my performance was good, but after I left, I found out he gave me a B. Felt like he wasn’t really serious about mentoring or hiring. Didn’t feel respected and wouldn’t recommend working with him.

I had an amazing experience during my internship at NVIDIA. Both my manager and mentor were very cooperative, helpful, and guided me throughout the entire process.

No cons that I can think off.

Learned so much with hands on experience and people were very supportive.

Hire bad managers and manager brings in worse talent.

Quick interview process. Final round was hectic

Due to huge applications, level of difficulty of interview is high

- amazing WLB, including extra 2 days off every quarter just because CEO wants everyone across the globe to have thursday-sunday as a time to refresh once a quater - ESPP program is very profitable, considering stock rise - a lot of resources to increase your level, including paid Stanford courses with partial degree in the end - no return to office - a lot of vibes “family first”

- base salary is OK’ish - WLB might depend on a team - lack of transparency for some of decisions (80% its very transparent) - interview process can be hard and decided per team. You wont get ready for it in advance
