Pros

NVIDIA has some of the best talent in chip design industry. The work environment is full of energy. Strong focus on engineering - so as an engineer, you form the core of the company. The management is mostly honest and transparent. Very little b****s*** from management. Even senior people are hands on.

Cons

The schedule tends be quite hectic. Expectations are high and sometimes unrealistic. Fun mostly is absent from work. You come to office, work, go back home, work. No office outings. Sometimes work tends to get repetitive and boring.

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.
