Nvidia

With 16,568 U.S. employees, Nvidia is igniting a culture of growth by providing staffers with the NVLearn training platform and AI-focused Deep Learning Institute. Nvidia also has a strong charitable Inspire 365 initiative for giving back. 

Employees say: "The collaboration and closeness to any department is incredible. It feels like a startup with massive funding. The transparency top-down is amazing. I love the clear communication and direction at every company meeting, especially with our CEO."

Employees say:

"In my job at Nvidia, I get to work with multiple teams all at once. It is nice because I get to learn many things and get to experience working with many people across different teams. We have very great donation matching program which is unlike other companies I've worked for. I feel like even when I work a lot, I can make a difference and contribute to causes I care about. Nvidia is also about life-long learning so there are many programs for completing higher education degree."

Nvidia ranks No. 25 on the 2024 World’s 25 Best Workplaces list.

Employees say:

"The honesty, transparency, integrity, and respect I have experienced at this company are unparallelled. From the moment I joined, I felt welcomed and part of the mission and importantly, I clearly understood what the mission was because the CEO expressly addressed the entire company to explain in a direct, inspiring, and motivational company meeting. There are unlimited resources for continued learning and growth and taking time for these learning opportunities is encouraged. I truly feel a part of this company - comfortable, connected, stimulated, and motivated. I am confident I am in the right place."

Employees say:

"The CEO and management team have an excellent vision and mission, and information sharing is highly transparent. Employees are empowered and inspired to work wholeheartedly. The spirit of teamwork here is exceptional."

Employees say:

"Regardless of how big NVIDIA is, we are treated as if we are on a small team and cared for immensely. NVIDIA changes the standard of 'a great place to work', truly."

Employees say: 

"Amazing leadership and vison by our CEO—he sees the trends before they happen. Makes you proud when telling people you work for Nvidia. Immediate management lets you do your job without looking over your shoulder."  

Even as the broader tech sector has shed tens of thousands of jobs, Nvidia continued its remarkable streak of nearly 15 years without any layoffs. As revenue almost doubled in 2023, the computing company, based in Santa Clara, Calif., also cut travel and trimmed expenses across the board and managed to guarantee annual pay raises. Nvidia prides itself on its “flat structure,” where employees are encouraged to solve problems quickly and collaboratively through projects, thus dispensing with the unnecessary strictures of job descriptions, reporting lines, or specific roles; there are never more than seven layers of management between junior employees and CEO Jensen Huang. Staff are also given a voice through triannual “pulse” surveys to gauge employee sentiment on topics ranging from diversity and inclusion policies to pursuing meaningful work. And as Nvidia has emerged as a key player in the AI boom, it’s committed to advancing trustworthy AI that reflects responsible and ethical social values.
