Pros

the pay is good as compared to other silicon valley companies... at worst it is competitive. The company has good competition and tries to keep getting ahead in the game and develops new competitiors and such making the environment very challenging. The standards set by the company for employees is very high. So you get brilliant coworkers from whom you learn a lot.

Cons

The work life is not balanced. sometimes you have so much to do you that you end up spending nights and weekends at the office. At other times you have nothing to do at all and you might as well go home and sleep. The coworkers while being brilliant are nerds so there is no fun.

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.
