Nvidia Work Experiences
- 3.0Cool stuff is happening, and mostly everyone knows it.ASIC Design Engineer • Current EmployeeSanta Clara, California, United StatesDecember 14, 2011Pros: 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.
