Pros

NVIDIA offers the ability to obtain a lot of broad experience in the ASIC industry. Your assignments can vary wildly from project to project, but this can cause problems when projects (and their schedules) aren't properly managed. For example, designs can be compromised by inconsistent ownership and poor understanding of the design.

Cons

Long-term prospects for NVIDIA are somewhat uncertain in the context of AMD' and Intel's platform ownership. Inconsistent management focus leads to disappointing project performance.

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
