Pros

Surrounded by extremely smart people. I mean REALLY smart people. Lots of work autonomy. Get an assignment and I can run with it with little interference. Nice facilities in Santa Clara. Freedom to explore other areas (Deep Learning, VR, etc.). Great benefits package (other than stock). First class medical, dental, vision options. Company really carers about giving back (STEM tutoring, Project Inspire). Company reworking itself and leading in very cutting edge technologies. Lots of $$ poured back into R&D.

Cons

Salary below other sites in the valley. No stock grants (ESPP available at 15% discount). Stock on the rise. Little/no direction in career growth. It’s all up to you to try and figure it out.

Pros

NVIDIA's PTO and Sick policies are compassionate and generous. Managers listen to employees' ideas. Employees get to work on a wider variety of projects than expected, and usually work closely with other teams to get things done. Collaboration is tight almost all of the time.

Cons

Employees don't always get insight into why they were assigned a particular project, or have much if any choice about what projects they get to work on. Managers are often too busy working on projects themselves to have the free time to meet with employees on a regular basis. This leads to short-term, reactive thinking rather than long-term visionary thinking.
