I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Portland, OR) in Jul 2008
Interview
I was referred by a friend for a particular group and I got an email from a recruiter. Although the position I was called for, didnt really match my profile.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most questions were pretty much standard. What hit me was the being a PhD student, I was asked questions from Sophomore level courses. This was opposite to my previous interview with IBM, where they really RESPECTED my research and analytically walked me through the interview. The questions were 10101 sequence detector, CMOS inverter with just NMOS, importance of caches etc
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in Sep 2024
Interview
Applied online, got reached out within a week, had two rounds of online interviews then got rejected. Asked standard computer architecture questions and some cache-specific questions. Also asked about interconnect.

The interview was smooth and easy to understand, It took me 45 minutes. The employer is an engineer worked for 10 years. They provided all technical questions, only 2 for coding.
