Nvidia

Open and direct culture.

Nearly everything can be discussed openly, and people here tend not to hide bad news. I'm not saying every BU or everybody here would be equally transparent, but as far as I have seen, the people I'm dealing with are pretty reasonable.

If you are in the core BU, I mean, GPU, you probably have enough exposure to interesting and state-of-the-art technology and engineering practices. This may not apply to other BUs, which I've heard have complaints about not having enough fun there.

More and more "data-driven" decisions were made. Data-driven is conceptually the right way to go, but when people who don't know how to interpret the data start to take charge, the decisions tend to only address short-term perspectives, instead supporting fussier, hard-to-quantify long-term goals.

Also, the 401(k) match plan is like a joke.

Let's think more toward the direction of "how to make NVIDIA survive in the next decade," instead of "how to make my manager happier." Come on, I believe the senior e-staff are still thinking the former, but middle-level managers tend to be more and more leaning toward the latter, which really disappointed me.
