Pros

Engineering execution is good. Nvidia has been a market leader in its field. There are some smart people in the company. The company is aware of its social responsibility. They also spend a decent amount of money on employee growth and learning. I think the company culture is good. Oh and by the way, they have free food (upto $5).

Cons

Lots of arrogant managers who have no clue of what they are doing. Future of nvidia is bleak. Basically smart people are treated like a distributed server farm. Perfect place to become a dumb machine & work like an ass. No innovation. The free food is horribleeeeeee.

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.
