Pros

Decent compensation Nvidia Bangalore Centre works on the latest technologies, there are opportunities to learn and grow technically. If you are a geek and like slogging out for long hours, you might like this place..

Cons

Work life Balance can be very bad in some groups, particularly the groups doing backend design work. Aggressive work culture. Attending daily night calls and meetings can be troublesome for many. Most people would put in lot of hours even on weekends and holidays , setting the same standard for others. Heavy email traffic puts a lot of stress and can decrease productivity. No proper documentation on the complicated flows, very difficult for a new joinee to learn the flows in a short time and become productive. Stock doesn't seem to be going anywhere, the RSU's are no match to what other top companies are paying. It used to be a place once which was known to be a top paymaster and cutting edge work. However now it has lost its shine in the market, companies like LSI, Qualcomm, Broadcom are paying more for the same talent. Work has become just so and so, they do not need top brains anymore for doing such work. Mad rush to enter into the management ladder has resulted in lot of office politics. If you do not have a good reputation with your manager, you will go nowhere in this company, no matter how good work you do.

Pros

1. Technology, always up to the mark, very advance. A lot of hardware to work with. 2. Work culture is cool and relaxed, still has a heart of a startup. 3. Free food and transport.

Cons

1. Bangalore is not the place for software. If you are looking for good SW job, go to Hyd. 2. Bad hikes (They used to pay good, not anymore), shares are just trap. 3. Technically incompetent and egoist managers, rather morons. They have there own checklist for appraisals, regardless of performance. Favoritism is big time.

Pros

- Made some of the best friends of my life working at NVIDIA. - Learned what I am capable of achieving under EXTREMELY stressful working conditions; it gave me confidence in my own abilities - Relatively flat organization with little politics. You can get attention for your projects even with 8k employees - Definitely play hard mentality after you're finished working - No accruing vacation. Take it as you need it. (however I've noticed this also breeds a lot of peer pressure NOT to take vacation...so you just have to be OK with that)

Cons

- Very stressful work environment. At crunch times, there is ZERO work/life balance - Teams will be near completion on a project, and then a senior person will come in and completely change direction. It wastes time. - There are always big ideas that trickle down from the top without consideration for how many resources will be needed to execute. Each person is doing 3-people's jobs. - Abrasive communication style. Very negative, very aggressive. - None of the fun perks that other large Silicon Valley companies are known for. No free lunch. No shuttles from SF. No 401k matching (while I was there, although I think this has since changed). No cash bonus (only RSUs).
