Pros
NVIDIA has a great brand name, good organization culture, great work-life balance and boasts of a highly motivated work force. Good communication down the line from the senior management is an added advantage! An excellent place to work as an engineer, an equally bad place to stay long for the support functions viz: IT, Finance, Facilities, HR, etc. It has a good compensation & benefits design and is well appreciated by the employees. Long term benefits like stock grants, stock purchase plans and the short term benefits like insurance, fitness subsidy, flexi hours are popular and well utilised by the employees.
Cons
NVIDIA seems to have a tough time attracting and retaining talent and needs to invest more time & money fixing this. A really really bad place to stay long for the employees representing the support function. Decision making process is highly centralized where managers are required to take approvals from outside at every stage of the decision making cycle. Career opportunities & growth is another area of concern where NVIDIA needs to invest sufficient time. NVIDIA also has the reputation of having immature managers accross functions who refuse to take responsibilities, react to feedback defensively, are least innovative & are at times biased! Reward for performance needs to be relooked at.
