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.
