Pros

Jensen, our President/CEO is very intelligent, driven, articulate, encouraging, warm, and approachable. What you see on stage is the same person you bump into in the halls or overhear at the bar. Yes, we have a really nice bar in our building. NVIDIA's success and amazing culture clearly comes from the top. During Covid, he has firmly repeated this message: "Put family first!" During the holidays, we don't have a big expensive company dinner, we volunteer or donate to our local communities. The work is challenging and meaningful. Compensation and benefits are great. I love my coworkers. I've been here almost five years. It's real and I still can't believe how lucky I am.

Cons

NVIDIA innovates at a crazy pace. There is more work to do than time to do it. But everyone around you is working super hard. And doing what you love, with people you care about, for a president that seems genuinely to be one of the nicest human beings I've ever met makes me want to work extra hard, too. So the biggest negative is really self-inflicted.

Pros

Very flexible org structure can give you visibility and opportunity to deliver impact. There's a lot of work so lots of opportunity to step up and get scope/visibility

Cons

Pretty tough to navigate at times. Not much guidance or protection from senior management. Not many opportunities for mentorship. Better if latter in your career or strong self driven passion. Special note on front loaded vesting... there's no guarantee in your comp, so when you negotiate/think about your total comp, average the 4 years out, your first 2 years is no guarantee on comp / your comp can actually go down even if you're performing fine.
