The interview went very well with a very friendly senior engineer. Unluckily, I didn't get the offer, but I still feel good about the process. I hope NVIDIA can be more and more successful.

Cool stuff is happening, and mostly everyone knows it

Pros: There is a lot of cool stuff happening as this company reinvents itself from just pushing pixels to pushing data around everywhere. NVIDIA is very open internally, so it's very easy to see the level of excitement flowing around. It's nice to generally know about what's happening around you, too.
Cons: NVIDIA is organized to pinch pennies, be it in the compute infrastructure or in employee compensation. Everybody works very hard, but compensation is subpar for the industry. Benefits (401k matching?) similarly lack.

A hard place to work
ASIC Design Engineer • Current Employee
Santa Clara, California, United States
April 19, 2009
Pros: Get to work on some pretty cool stuff, depending on the role you are in. Usually, it is easy to move between roles in the company and try out different stuff.
Cons: Slave drivers, staffing is skewed, which means some roles are very hectic while others are sitting idle.
Overall, you will end up working 50+ hours a week, at least for a few months in a year.
The hierarchy is shallow, which means you almost never get promoted.
No fixed career path like other companies.
