Pros

Lots of smart people to learn from. NVDA used to be notorious for its stringent recruiting and interview process. During the last depression 5 or 6 years ago there was a lot of unemployed engineers in the Bay Area and employers could afford to be picky. NVDA was taking the full advantage of that. These days unfortunately the bar is slipping lower. Still the bulk of the cadre hired in the last 6 years ( and that's 90% of the company ) is a very smart gang. To stay level with their colleagues, one has to actively work on maintaining high level of competence.

Cons

It can get pretty stressful at times.

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
