Pros

-Enthusiastic upper management with great vision -Pays well -Decent work life balance -Great location -Job security -Dog Friendly office -Excellent corporate foundation for charity and volunteer work

Cons

The company is really engineering focused, not a lot of opportunity on the business side. Lots of interdepartmental politics and bickering over who owns what. Some groups have weak management, some have great management, it varies throughout the company. To be successful you have to be a workaholic and give up your outside life.

Pros

Technical excellence and engineering rigor – Working alongside some of the smartest engineers in the industry. Code reviews, architecture discussions, and performance optimization were taken seriously. Cutting-edge technology – Unparalleled exposure to GPUs, CUDA, AI infrastructure, and low-level systems programming. Truly a place where you can work on problems that define the next decade of computing. Impact – Your work ships in products used by millions of gamers, researchers, and data centers worldwide. That visibility is rare and rewarding. Leadership in AI/ML – NVIDIA is not just riding the AI wave; it’s enabling it. Being at the center of that as an engineer was professionally transformative. Compensation – Competitive salary + RSUs that have appreciated significantly over time. The financial upside for long-term employees has been substantial.

Cons

Internal mobility – Moving between teams (e.g., from automotive to gaming) was harder than promised. Managers sometimes blocked transfers.
