Pros

* A culture of working hard, honesty, and owning your mistakes from CEO to junior engineer. * Distributed responsibility. Everyone is to take responsibility for their area of influence. * Problems are not swept under the rug. All are encouraged to learn from their mistakes. * We make awesome products that millions(ish) of people enjoy. Very satisfying.

Cons

There are few standards/guidelines imposed from top-down. This sometimes leads to reinventing the wheel, but each team has flexibility to do what works best for them.

Pros

Management is competent and actually cares about employee welfare. Jensen is the least sociopathic CEO I've ever worked under. The work has been interesting and I was actually allowed to do things right, and not just "right now".

Cons

The company is 3X the size it was when I joined, with all the usual problems of massive growth. And of course the AI hype at Nvidia is intense.

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.
