Pros

NVIDIA does provide a high-tech environment for people that love technology. You will get to do some pretty interesting things. Also, if you are a gamer, you get to see a lot of the behind the scenes in the industry and get advanced peeks at everything coming out.

Cons

The Code of Ethics is just for show - we were asked to do some pretty questionable things while I was still there. No-one on the management track gets to learn anything new - you are on your own. Most senior management is grown in-house so they lack actual management skills. They just have a deep understanding of the domain.

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.
