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.

Pros: Very talented engineers working on cutting-edge technology.
Helpful colleagues and I had two great hands-on managers who inspired me a lot.
Excellent internal tool for physical design.
Compensation was competitive.
Cons: Most of the brainwork in Physical Design is done by the CAD team. I found it tough to switch teams internally, as not many products were released in the mobile segment then. The company was on a learning curve in a very competitive race.
