Nvidia

Works in the latest technology. Tegra is doing pretty good.

Good compensation at par with the best in the industry.

You work with some of the most talented people in the industry.

The company has a good roadmap in the smartphone/tablet business.

Zero work-life balance. You are expected to work on weekends most of the time.

Company doesn't believe that people should have fun in their life. There's no gym on any of its campuses worldwide. No team outings or cultural events.

Heavy mail traffic. Working with US teams means you have to stay up late at night, attend calls, and respond to emails in the night.

Schedule planning by management is pathetic; it doesn't take into account weekends and other holidays.

Local managers created are totally incapable of handling people. They are too aggressive, put too much pressure on people, and have unrealistic expectations.

The work culture is very aggressive. If you do not get used to it, your life will be hell here.

Equity compensation is a myth. RSUs are a joke. Before joining, negotiate very hard; don't get emotional with their sweet talk of great work and all. Once you are in, you will not have time for anything else.

Respect your employees for their talent. Pay them well and don't take advantage of them.

RSUs have become useless; replace them with cash bonuses.

Get rid of middle management. Work can happen without them, also with better employee satisfaction!
