Pros

The employees are in average more talented than anywhere else I have worked. Nvidia products have a great public exposure : this is quite rewarding to go to Frys and see the products I have worked on. Good compensation/benefits package : ESPP is good way to make extra-money. Stock-options can also be a good motivator if you are not afraid of the volatility of the stock

Cons

The company has grown a lot for the last three years, and it starts to weigh on the dynamism and the reactivity of the company. The talent average suffers also from it Too many people tend to "work from home" too often and this is sometimes frustrating. It is tough to compete against Intel and AMD : Nvidia success does not depend only on its hard work.

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.
