Working at NVIDIA in Santa Clara, CA: 34 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Santa Clara, CA Area

"I've been with NVIDIA since January of 2013. As old as NVIDIA is, the company is very established and stable. I feel the culture might be a bit too established to the point where at times there is a lack of personal drive amongst the employees. The products are second to none and NVIDIA is a definitive leader in the GPU Market."

"Don't like the work environment. People are not approachable."

"I've worked there for several years. It has been a stable company for almost all of that time frame which is good, and they do try to retain their employees.

They tend to have a little too much influence which doesn't always foster a good work environment."
