Pros
* Appetite for challenging projects and ambitions * Lots of brilliant engineers * Strong stock performance * Flexible working hours/environment
Kontras
* Engineering culture is very top-down. You will often hear "There is only one boss at Nvidia - Jensen". All decision-making is top-down and grassroots creativity is often overlooked. * Because of top-down culture, teams/engineers experience a LOT of pivots. Most engineers typically work on 3-5 completely different projects/initiatives in the span of 1-2 years. This causes a lot of thrash. * Politics is obnoxious. Orgs and org leaders have been around for decades and have created their empires. If you are caught between the politics/crossfire, it will be very ugly. * Culture embraces "brilliant jerks". People are aggressive, somewhat arrogant and extremely entitled. * Not very respectful - I've heard Jensen bad-mouth competitors in company all-hands.
