Nvidia's employee attrition rate is only 3.7%: no organizational chart; additional company-wide leave every quarter 2 days

Article

BlockBeats reported that October 8, citing Fortune, Nvidia's global employee attrition rate is only 3.7%, far below the technology industry's average of 21.9%Nvidia's HR head Febe Punsalan said the company has long upheld a "mission-first" culture and adopted a flat management structure without a traditional organizational chart. Leaders of important projects may even report directly to CEO Jensen Huang, who currently has 36 direct reports.

Nvidia also continuously adjusts its benefits policies based on employee feedback. Each quarter, the company provides global employees with an additional 2 days of "Free Days Free Days", during which the entire company shuts down and employees do not need to handle work or emails. The company also maintains a hybrid work policy and provides parental leave, paternity leave, student loan repayment, reimbursement for in vitro fertilization and surrogacy costs, and support programs for neurodivergent employees and their children.

The report said Nvidia employees can also use their salaries to purchase company stock at a price 15%below the market price, a benefit that has made some employees multimillionaires. However, employees also noted that the company has a relatively high work intensity and a "pressure cooker" work environment. Punsalan acknowledged that work at Nvidia is challenging, but said that employees also embrace this high-intensity work because of its significance and sense of mission.
