Nvidia workforce data explains its meteoric rise
- Nvidia recruiters are now swamped at conferences, and platforms like Reddit and Blind are full of eager posters wondering how to land a job or at least get an interview at the company.
- The skyrocketing stock price has made many Nvidia employees millionaires, but so has the longevity of its employees.
- Nvidia has over 30,000 employees and has grown nearly 20-fold since 2003.
- Nvidia's median salary now surpasses Microsoft's and other Silicon Valley peers, with certain four-digit growth in the stock price within the last decade that led to conflicts between rich Nvidia employees not pulling their weight.
- Despite Nvidia's technical achievements, gender representation in the company's workforce has remained relatively unchanged in the last decade, with women making up 19.7% of the global workforce, albeit ahead of the pack when it comes to women in technical and management positions.
- Nvidia maintains a permissive remote work policy even as tech giants like Amazon mandate a return to the office, offering a unique company culture that fosters public feedback, direct reporting and harsh feedback in public rather than saving it for private conversations, so everyone can learn.
- Divide the company's revenue by its employee headcount and the financial strategy of long-term investment and returns shows through, beginning with CUDA, a software layer built by Nvidia to instruct its powerful chips that is the main element keeping AI builders loyal to the brand.
- Nvidia's revenue-to-headcount ratio showed a downward trend from 2003 until 2014, then steady upward progress until the AI boom in 2023, during which this ratio doubled.
- Nvidia's workforce data explains its meteoric rise over the years, with an increased workforce of over 20-fold in the last 20 years and impressive technological investments yielding rich rewards for employees.
- Despite criticisms of the company's business practices in the past, the longevity of the company and opportunities for employees keeps Nvidia in high demand among hopeful job seekers.
