NVIDIA's commanding presence in the realms of artificial intelligence and graphics processing has catapulted its market value skyward, transforming an impressive 78% of its workforce into millionaires, with half of these individuals boasting a net worth exceeding $25 million. Since 2019, the company's stock price has surged by an astonishing 3776%, delivering substantial returns to both NVIDIA and its dedicated employees.
However, this substantial income is accompanied by an equally intense work environment. Employees are expected to work tirelessly, often clocking in seven days a week and staying late into the night. They are subjected to rigorous meetings and stringent time management practices. The relentless pace has prompted many employees to contemplate 'semi-retirement', citing the scarcity of time to spend with their families.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang likens working at the company to 'voluntary sports', emphasizing the need for employees to autonomously manage their time. Despite the grueling demands, NVIDIA maintained its prestigious position as the second-best place to work, according to Glassdoor's 2024 rankings.
