Pros

Continues to be a great place to work. Lots of very smart people, generally working together very effectively, and lots of challenging engineering problems to solve. You will learn a lot and have fun doing it. I would recommend working here to anyone – it's not perfect, but overall it is a very rewarding experience, both intellectually and financially.

The company is transitioning from being a GPU leader in the dying PC market to trying to be a leader in the new world of mobile devices. Chances are it will succeed, but there is a lot of struggle ahead.

Cons

The frantic pace of a project to get to market can be tiring, and you have to defend your own work/life balance, as management won't.

The project decision-making process is rather ad hoc.

Advice to Management

Try to avoid going too high-end in the Tegra market.

There needs to be a mainstream business, too.

Go back to giving stock options and drop the almost worthless RSUs.
