Pros: You can work for non-Russian business units of NVIDIA, thus gaining experience with worldwide projects directly. This implies that you will need fluent technical English and overall communication skills, which in turn means you will grow them as well. Since you are reporting to a non-Russian business unit and are just attached to the Moscow branch, it means you are getting your salary from abroad. Those business units might also offer you a higher salary than Russian ones.

Cons: The Nizhny Novgorod site doesn't have an office; you are working fully remotely. This might be a pro, but HR doesn't allow travel and work abroad due to policy violations. You can travel only within Russia. Every team is very different, but you might face huge messes in product release procedures, pressure on results, and a lack of work-life balance. Some benefits are not effective, such as the Foodcard. You have 8,000 rubles in a month, but there are only three cafes in the city, and there are only around 20 employees. Might be hard to work with hardware technologies because you always have to call people and can't meet them face-to-face. Even if it's NVIDIA, it's Russian culture. You might face dull jokes and offensive anecdotes. You have to know how to protect yourself and build your personal walls, as in any other place.

Pros: Good environment. Good salary. Good boss.

Cons: Bad food. Bad room. Costly.

Pros: Some very smart people. Cutting-edge technology across different categories. I like all the people on my team, including my manager. Some work can be quite interesting. A great new HQ building is being built for late 2017. The CEO can be very inspiring. The stock is way up in the last couple of years.

Cons: Work-life balance isn't great and is very bad for some people. It can be very political. It's hard to promote to new levels. Communication between teams could be better. Management gets shuffled around even if they're underperforming or adding nothing, instead of being demoted or let go. There's only a $2500 401k match. Pay is below market average, from what I've heard. There are no RSUs for level 3 and below. Cafe food quality is usually bad.
