Pros

Great people to work with. Very smart people. Great benefits. People very helpful when you need help. Get to work on cool projects.

Cons

Need better communication between groups. Forced to spend more time at work then with family/friends. Sometimes you have to work long hours and not very well compensated. Having to be at home on weekends watching work emails to see if you have to come into work is not fun when you could be outside relaxing. Caring the company cell phone and having it go off in the middle of the night is not great either. Having to work when the company was shut down during Christmas was not great either. Didn;t get extra compensation.

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.
