Pros

Flexibility and focus on results rather than formal procedures, so it is convenient to work here. Great appreciation for innovation, research and improvements. Steady growth in terms of career, and a lot of possibilities for personal development - like internal lectures/conferences, partner programs with universities, web learning portals, domain experts, etc. Bleeding edge technology and experts in multiple fields, ties to the scientific R&D - and you can take part in any of those fields and acquire knowledge from experts. Competitive salaries. Management is mostly built of people with serious practical background, so they have a lot of understanding what is going on, and a vision that is both very practical, AND innovative. Feeling that you build and shape future.

Cons

Mentioned flexibility doesn't work well for all of the people - some people feel comfortable with more strict, managed environment, strictly formulated tasks and timeframes, and don't appreciate too much of the individual freedom. Resources of the company are more limited to those of a bigger companies which sometimes may be perceived as a good thing sometimes (work smarter, not harder), but otherwise it limits the potential possibilities.

Pros

NVIDIA's PTO and Sick policies are compassionate and generous. Managers listen to employees' ideas. Employees get to work on a wider variety of projects than expected, and usually work closely with other teams to get things done. Collaboration is tight almost all of the time.

Cons

Employees don't always get insight into why they were assigned a particular project, or have much if any choice about what projects they get to work on. Managers are often too busy working on projects themselves to have the free time to meet with employees on a regular basis. This leads to short-term, reactive thinking rather than long-term visionary thinking.

Pros

The product security organization has a very ideal work-life balance. The culture is strong on ownership and trust. There is a good sense of pride and collaboration across teams with low level of politics and high sense of "the project is the boss". Compensation is good for the roles. Merit increases and promotions are mostly transparent, but can vary from manager to manager.

Cons

Leadership direction can be whiplash at some times. Some initiatives feel directionless, while others feel misguided. Leadership does respond to push back and listens to employees though, but it often feels like managing up.
