Pros

NVIDIA walks the walk. They have standards for how people should be treated, and they live up to it. They pay very well, and have generous ESPP and 401K matching programs. They also encourage people who are interested in working on something new to move internally - that keeps your team's perspectives fresh. One story I heard illustrates the heart of the company: I joined in the middle of the worst of the pandemic, when everything was locked down. NVIDIA has a big campus in Santa Clara, and that was likewise shut down. The company that provided the on-site food for employees was obviously not needed, but the CEO, Jensen Huang, decide to keep paying them so that they wouldn't have to lay off their people. The money was already budgeted, so rather that treat it as a windfall for NVIDIA, he made sure that the people from the catering service could still make their mortgage payments and support their families. Now that's a company I could be proud to work for!

Cons

Health insurance: unless you're in California, the coverage options are limited to Cigna, and none of my doctors accepted Cigna.

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
