Nvidia

If you're either a gamer or a hardware geek, then NVIDIA is a company I'd heavily recommend.

Internship experiences can widely vary depending on your team, mentor, and manager.

Some interns rarely see their mentors, either because they work at a separate office or simply because they are elusive. Personally, my mentor and entire team were almost always within earshot, which made for a much more inclusive environment.

There's no shortage of work to do, so chances are if you're unsatisfied with your project, your mentor can find something better suited for you.

The only disappointment I had working at NVIDIA was that there weren't as many juicy perks, discounts, and benefits as I had hoped, especially for interns. For instance,

• there is no real gym on campus nor slides made of primary colors.
• Graphics card discounts are also unimpressive.
• The food at the cafes is neither free nor particularly good.

The internship program and events heavily died down after early August when most of the semester system interns finished. It would have been nice to continue having smaller events even after the bulk of interns left.
