Nvidia

Great engineering and engineering culture.

Excellent compensation and the ability to achieve work/life balance.

Excellent technical management.

Leaders in Human Resources, Legal, and Employee Experience not only take their work seriously, but listen with intent when told they may be missing the mark. They have been known to take more time than some employees feel is reasonable to get some things right, but they listen and implement real, responsive changes in good faith.

On some key company issues, policies, roadmaps, and decisions that impact all NVIDIANs, the company can be poor at communicating well and at letting all of us weigh in on the direction of our company's work.

I am blessedly in just one of the most ethical, compassionate, and competent teams of engineers to ever happen. But, I do get the impression that some NVIDIANs have a much worse workplace experience, and that a lot of that is likely due to toxic leaders in particular orgs or teams.

Honestly, you impress me.

I look at the workplaces of my peers, and none can match mine. My advice simply is to keep it up, to hold on to the values, and to take harsh but good-faith critiques on important issues well.
