Nvidia

If you do not care about work, want to socialize, or play games, you've got it. That's a place for you.

There is no other place in the Bay Area where management has so much power over engineers.

In NVIDIA, an engineer equals a slave. Each engineer is a slave for at least one manager. There are many cases where if you do a good job, you get moved around between two or three managers. This way, many managers can enjoy your services.

Loyalty and years serving the company are the only things that matter.

If you are a good performer and do your job right, management will make sure you work alone. Management will make sure you are isolated.

As long as you keep quiet and never question your managers, things go well.

Some VPs are plain, borderline criminals. If they were not working for NVIDIA, you would say they were part of the Godfather trilogy. They never achieved anything in their careers; they are just friends of the big boss.

Lay off half of the managers, and half of the VPs.

You will save lots of money, and you will give engineers the chance to work on things that matter.

You can lay off anywhere from 200 to 2000 people, and products will start shipping faster.

Most managers are a liability for the company.

Look up the word "honesty" in a dictionary.
