I once interviewed for a Software Engineering role with an Nvidia QA team in Austin 5 or 6 years ago(would have been working on maintaining the test software that validated new drivers on huge banks of test hardware, if memory serves).
Wasn't too terribly impressed with the team (and a couple of them were definitely giving off that "I hate my job/life" vibe, one disgruntled fellow was even trying to drop little thinly-veiled "run away!" hints at me). I figure either the cream of the crop at Nvidia doesn't work in QA, or they don't get proper support from upper management.
P.S. Didn't get an offer anyway, probably for the best - I was desperate for work at the time and would have taken it :)
After the "Tom" incident I'm not surprised to hear about anything that happens inside NVIDIA. That presentation, months of bad drivers (yes, I was using DDU) and the GFExperience login thing made me switch to another brand.
