Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to work at, smart people developing industry leading technology. Many of the folks at Nvidia are at the top of the industry in their respective fields. You are always surrounded by the best engineering talent around.

Cons

Work/life balance can be a bit of a pain. Between being a global workforce, and the goal of speed-of-light execution, you can expect some weekend and night work during hardware bring up.

Great quality of work, great work culture, many growth opportunities.

Systems software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

* Get to work with cutting edge technology. * Lots of opportunities for leadership/ownership. * Work independence, less micro management. * Work life balance. No on-calls or anything like that. No one ever asks to work on weekends unless something is really really burning. * Less conventional practices which eat developer's time like strict sprint planning, daily stand ups etc. * India offices not treated as secondary work offices. Many teams in India with complete ownership of important modules. * Free food, fruits, snacks, transportation. No nonsensical frugality here.

Cons

* Salaries are good but sometimes not at par with other companies which employ engineers of same caliber as Nvidia. * Work space is always neglected. Nothing much in break area, no gyms, no dormitories, less cube spaces.
