Pros

From an engineering perspective. It is a incredibly dedicated group of people trying to make the best product they can with the requirements laid out for the product. It's a bit slow at times from getting things done in ops and internal tooling. But I've worked with a more knowledgeable group of folk. The only reason I even left is because there wasn't an internal transfer for a position I was looking for, and I do regret not looking harder.

Cons

Marketing makes a lot of very questionable decisions that effects the reputation of the engineers. You really can't tell if some of the decisions being made are out of malice or incompetence, and the enterprise sector is so profitable that they'll never see any consequences. There's a lot of tribal knowledge. Colossus is a colossal disaster. The Internal tools team is doing their best, it's just not up to the standards of the rest of the company, meaning internal Ops is kind of a mess. They could do with a bit more diversity

Pros

Technical excellence and engineering rigor – Working alongside some of the smartest engineers in the industry. Code reviews, architecture discussions, and performance optimization were taken seriously. Cutting-edge technology – Unparalleled exposure to GPUs, CUDA, AI infrastructure, and low-level systems programming. Truly a place where you can work on problems that define the next decade of computing. Impact – Your work ships in products used by millions of gamers, researchers, and data centers worldwide. That visibility is rare and rewarding. Leadership in AI/ML – NVIDIA is not just riding the AI wave; it’s enabling it. Being at the center of that as an engineer was professionally transformative. Compensation – Competitive salary + RSUs that have appreciated significantly over time. The financial upside for long-term employees has been substantial.

Cons

Internal mobility – Moving between teams (e.g., from automotive to gaming) was harder than promised. Managers sometimes blocked transfers.
