Pros

The company itself is good (technology leader with GPU). For example, working in the USA office should be Ok (but not in Russia).

Cons

In Russian office every year many layoffs happened: fired developer before mine and they did something terrible with me and then they fired woman after me (but I told to her in advance that layoffs happens often and without reason in Russian office and what she could do if it would happen to her). Stop treating people as garbage in Moscow office! Don't fire good workers, but do something with local mafia instead (in Moscow office all key positions are occupied by a group of people in collusion and these people feel Ok, but both they are exploit others like slaves). If I don't have nightmare (after working for about two years there) even after 2 or 3 years passed, I would not write this: the nightmare is that if you don't pay tribute to manager, then you will be flogged. Saying seriously, in my team there were just about 8 members and in three years they fired 4 out of 8 members (because actually there were bad manager, but because of mafia bad manager did layoffs regularly both trying to find workers worse than himself, so kind of degradation).

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.
