Pros

People know this company in the industry.

Cons

A huge amount of work and the schedule is unrealistic. This kind of schedule always causes many problems in a project. That is why NVIDIA's products have so many bugs. Fortunately, the life cycle of NVIDIA's products is short, and people throw them away every 6 months. This is the kind of product people make at NVIDIA.

Advice to Management

In the past, the management level was flat.

After the company grew in the last few years, management and engineer communications are broken.

Management just pushes projects down to engineers and doesn't know how to justify the values of engineers' work. Rewards are usually given not based on work performance.

Layout engineers could get option grants while designers get nothing. This is rare among Silicon Valley companies.

Unfair management is everywhere inside the company.
