      Pros

      Fast-paced work culture Leading edge technology Strongly support telecommuting. They don't care where you are as long as you get your work done. Can be an excellent place to learn the latest technology

      Cons

      Ultimately you're just a cog in the machinery. Very poor work-life balance. You're constantly expected to always be on the job - tethered to your blackberry. If you get pigeon-holed into a role, then it can be very difficult to move to a different role. Some managers have the attitude that they are throwing money at you - so just forget about professional growth and do whatever you're told. A lot of talented people tend to turn-off as a result of this attitude.

      Great Company; Ok Compensation

      Pros

      NVIDIA makes great technologies that are changing the world in many ways. Many smart and talented people work in this company that you can learn from.

      Cons

      NVIDIA is quite demanding. You should expect to work much more hours than other companies in the Silicon Valley. Compensation is below where it should be especially considering how demanding the company is.

      Place where optimist turns into pessimist.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - *Used to* have some of the best talents in the world - Arbitrary work assignments leading to few lucky people getting good work regardless of experience - Best place to work for 1-2 years if you want to do MS/Phd later - Company has overall a good reputation outside - One of the best CEO's around the world

      Cons

      - No or very limited employee benefits and rewards - Too many project cancellations . company is on the downfall from last 3 years - Too many managers and leads than working force leading to more work per employee - Company makes sure that it wouldn't give any compensation / benefits to retain the employees - Lot of politics. Work contributions are not valued. What is more valued is how many managers and HR contacts does one have - Slipping the deadlines has become a habit for the company. Unrealistic project deadlines leading to more stress on already lean work force. - Local managers don't encourage new ideas or methodologies - Outdated and very old technology and methodology flows - Core-values are only meant to be on slides. If followed strictly, it leads to total isolation from the team
