Pros

- Great place to learn new skills as you get to work with the very best engineers - Many teams leading big ticket projects entirely from India, the fact that US office has better work is completely untrue - Great pay - The maximum number of leaves in any organization (paid paternity leave of 84 days!) - Free meals and shuttle services to make life comfortable - A lot of teams have opportunities to visit Santa Clara which provides for more learning

Cons

- While the basic pay is great, there are no bonuses / special awards / recognition during the year - Work life balance may not be great in some of the teams. - It's all about the work, there are very few recreational activities / events organized by HR and Commerzone Tech Park in Pune where the office is located doesn't have any facilities like gym / common food court. - Scope for growth may be limited depending on the team you work for

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.
