An outside sales representative is a sales rep that sells products and services through face-to-face meetings. Outside sales reps, also called field sales reps, meet their prospects at trade shows, industry events, prospect’s office, restaurant, or even when going door-to-door.

The schedule of an outside sales rep is less structured compared to inside sales. Their office is their base, but they spend most of their time outside of it. They set their own schedule and adjust it to their prospects’ preferences.

Hiring outside sales reps is a great step for companies aiming for larger deals. This usually means there’s a longer sales cycle, which goes hand-in-hand with the outside sales style that relies on deeper relationships.

The average base salary for an outside sales rep in the United States is $49,985, according to PayScale. Outside sales reps can also get bonuses up to $30,000 and commission up to $47,000.

An excellent candidate for an outside sales position will be:

Great at picking up body language cues
Comfortable at setting their own schedule and working autonomously
Highly organized
Willing to work with fewer leads (compared to remote sales that’s scalable)
Often, sales representatives will use a combination of inside and outside sales techniques to achieve their goals, but organizations do occasionally need a specialist.




I came to Nvidia rather early in my career.  As such, I was ready after 5 years to take on new challenges.  It was difficult for me to move up in the company without having prior experience in PM work.  I ultimately left to obtain real world PM experience in the CM world. 

-A typical day when I worked there consisted of prioritizing software certification builds, getting testing underway, and reporting on or updating bugs as they rolled in.

-I learned tons about software testing and certification.

-Management was OK, but I was in a team removed from the main SQA management team.

-Work place culture was top shelf!

-The hardest part of my job were the inconsistent hours, kicking off drivers at midnight, etc..

-The most enjoyable part was being part of a world class organization.. I miss Nvidia circa 2003..

I cannot say enough good things about Nvidia, I found it difficult to move up within the company, because my role there had me somewhat pigeonholed.  Aside from this though, they really do take good care of their emplyees.  I would work there again in heartbeat!

I worked at NVIDIA as a contractor. While the company is recognized for its technological leadership, my experience was challenging due to internal favoritism and team politics.

I observed instances where relatives, including siblings, worked within the same organizations sometimes even within the same teams under different managers which created a perception of unequal treatment. There also appeared to be favoritism aligned along certain ethnic lines. Employees from underrepresented backgrounds often faced greater barriers, making the environment feel less merit-based and less transparent.

I attempted to share this feedback on multiple platforms, but my posts were removed without explanation. My intention is not to discredit the company’s technical achievements, but to highlight concerns around fairness, representation, and internal culture that significantly impacted my experience.

Every GPU cycle presents new challenges, features and work. Nvidia constantly pushes the envelopes in all aspects and leads the industry with new technologies.

Most of the time, I am working with multiple teams to bring new chips and features to market. I am constantly learning and am supported by capable leaders and peers.

Constantly working on new features and different teams across the world means I'm working around the clock. Work/life balance is reasonable but at times can be quite challenging over long periods of time. 

Management has good vision and direction. CEO is always thinking years in advance and pivots the company when beneficial to the future. Nvidia is constantly pushing gross margins which can be felt at the engineering level. Intent is good but can be overly restrictive at times (e.g.: lab equipment, computer purchases, etc).

As with many big corporations, there's a big game being played on employees..here it was primarily using West Valley Staffing, the in house staffing agency to lure people in with potential jobs at a growing co/dept but in fact, the department has NO requisition/authority to make this contractor a permanent employee, and NO incentive to, because WV pays below market, with almost no benefits, no sick time, no holiday pay unless you've been there 6 mos, etc. Good luck going through years of being underpaid, below market, for the "hopes" of becoming a permanent employee.  (stories of people being contractors for 2-5 years abound)

And the other game is people working cross functionally, with reporting/performance/pay managed by one manager, but actual work and projects with multiple managers who don't communicate, so no one really knows everything you're being asked to do, or should be paid to do.

Nvidia is a great place to work, but it's lacking when it comes to having a conducive environment for younger or start-upy kinds of employees. It's a very classic style of doing business, and many of the middle people (who've been there for less than 10 years) will tell you that you could do worse in many places, but you could also easily do a lot better.

Management is pretty hands off, certain ones will micromanage, but in general the structure of power is accessible from the lower rungs. The hardest part of my position was being one of the very few people who represented the target market/audience, and so many of the people making these products wouldn't ever consume them, and that dissonance was aggravating to be around.

Working as a Product Engineer at Nvidia is a rewarding experience, though it comes with its challenges. The company offers access to cutting-edge technology and innovation, which can be inspiring for engineers passionate about semiconductors and GPUs. Collaboration with smart, talented peers is a plus, and the work environment encourages growth.

However, the workload can be demanding, often leading to long hours, especially around key project deadlines. Work-life balance can be tough to manage, as expectations are high. Additionally, processes can sometimes feel rigid, and there is limited flexibility in decision-making, which can be frustrating for those who prefer a more agile work environment. Compensation is competitive, but some feel it doesn’t always match the workload intensity.

Overall, Nvidia offers great opportunities for learning and career growth, but the fast-paced, high-pressure environment might not be for everyone.

Pros:
✅ Cutting-Edge Technology: Working at NVIDIA means being at the forefront of AI, graphics, and high-performance computing. Projects are often tied directly to innovations in deep learning, autonomous vehicles, gaming, and data centers.
✅ Strong Engineering Culture: NVIDIA hires some of the smartest engineers in the industry. Collaboration is encouraged, and there's a strong sense of ownership over projects.
✅ Impactful Work: Engineers see their work directly influence the products that shape entire industries. Whether optimizing CUDA libraries, designing next-gen GPUs, or improving AI inference pipelines, the work matters at a global scale.
✅ Compensation & Benefits: Competitive salaries, strong stock performance, and comprehensive benefits make NVIDIA one of the best-paying companies in tech.
✅ Learning Opportunities: Access to internal tech talks, cutting-edge research, and direct exposure to world-class hardware and software stacks.

I have been a specialist for 3 years now and it's very hard to get promoted as a campaign manager. I have worked in many different departments and have shown success. They want to keep the organization flat, which is great because I have visibility to many departments and work with VPs, but I don't feel I'm being nurtured as a young person to be set up for success down the road. 

Everyone is incredibly willing to teach you the product if you aren't a technical person. When there is a product launch, we "swarm" and everyone helps. CEO has visibility into everything and wants to be involved, which is awesome yet stressful. 

Now that NVIDIA is on the map for AI & deep learning and our stock is doing well, unfortunately the politics of a big company are starting to come with it. I hope NVIDIA can push the politics out and remain true to its roots.

Nvidia should take a deep considerations again manager who harassed, emotional abused, personal, hatred, jealous, against sick people while they are in need for medical attentions, force them to loose job, cut them off their insurance for medical support could lead to dead.
They used over power to stop people from getting review for raise, sobotage them to the maximum they can do, including that certain people 
 do not have the right to take holiday vacation unless other don't want it
an unequal opportunity employee happen here, this problem should be stop at Nvidia, they also telling people "YOUR MIND IS DETERIORATE, WHY YOU KEEP COMING, YOU JUST WANT TO COME HERE TO GET PAY"
How could manager treated their employees this way and still working at NVIDIA?
