Pros

Good pay, flexible hours, no accountability. When I worked here I could come into work and leave basically whenever I wanted, as long as I got to meetings on time and got some reasonable amount of work done.

Cons

Bad attitude, not forward thinking, no adjustment for past mistakes, no accountability. The projects here area always delayed many, many times, and every time management is convinced it is the last time and opts to blindly rush to completion rather than do things efficiently and maintainably. In this haste, something always gets done the wrong way such that it takes considerably more time the next time, work cannot be re-used, etc. And then the project never actually completes by this date anyway despite the harmful shortcuts, making them pointless.

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.
