Pros

I've worked for many companies, I stayed at nvidia because it's well run, the best among the companies I've worked for. I'm only leaving because of retirement. I have nothing but good things to say about Jensen (founder / CEO) and his management practices, he treats us well and we've all shared in the company's success.

Cons

The only negative is that most of the senior people have been there for many years, and I have to believe they'll be retiring in the coming years as well. The people leading make the company what it is, and there's no way to know if whoever takes over will do as well. I certainly hope so, but it is a risk.

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.
