Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits he criticizes everything his 42,000-plus employees show him: ‘You can’t go a day without some criticism’

Nvidia has become an AI darling — market cap over $5 trillion and a record $81.6B in quarterly revenue driven by booming data-center demand.
CEO Jensen Huang says he runs a “torturous” Taiwanese-parent style of nonstop criticism, works seven days a week, and even quipped he hopes “to die on the job.”
Despite the demanding culture, Nvidia reports very low turnover (2.5% in FY2025) and many long-tenured employees.
