NVidia software is terrible, really terrible. Teams must not be that good.
Terrible as in wlb or practices?
What is being produced. Drivers are so full of bugs that big players actually rewrite them.
For any hardware company software is just an enabler since it doesn't generate direct revenue. If you want to grow in software, go with Microsoft
Yup. Software people in silicon companies are turd class citizens.
Totally agree

Come to Papa baby !!
I would take neither. There are so many interesting well funded start ups.
Depends on the team you go to I guess. Some really good work is going on in the cloud gaming teams.
What BU are you going to be in Nvidia. A lot of teams have great culture, some do have politics. A recent trend seems to be that we are always focused on adding new features and demoing new code which doesn't get finished very well and is hurriedly integrated. Some teams are trying to be better about this, but management is still quite nimble in it's strategy. It will be fast paced and evolving. Again, this is w.r.t to Auto and some of the new AI/DL based teams. GPU and system software teams are more grounded
I fully agree!
Nvidia does not have performance bonus, and annual refreshers are peanuts.
True! Most made money on espp and initial stock grants. Stock run seems to be over now. Refreshers are embarassing.
People at nvidia tend to be mellow and more approachable. Software is definitely maturing now. The whole experience depends on your team though, but remember that there are not a lot of teams to begin with (which I like). I'd pick nvidia over most other companies any day.
You are really Lucky Gal. Stay with your manager and team forever. It's good for you . (In a good sense)
