Nvidia

• Extremely competent full-time staff.
• Good mentors.
• Lots of high-quality internal resources explaining how different aspects of the company work.
• Well-respected company. It's easy to get interviews at other top companies after working at Nvidia.

• Used COVID as an excuse to apply a 45% "cost of living adjustment" to my pay two weeks before my start date and after I had already accepted their offer. The cost of living in my city is not that much less than Santa Clara.

• "Top of pay-band" full-time return offer was underwhelming.

Respect your obligations. Just because you can legally renege on an agreement doesn't mean that you should.

To Jensen specifically, it's pretty rich to claim that you care more about your engineers than your shareholders when, in spite of record profits, you use the pandemic as an excuse to renege on engineer pay.
