I did an on-campus interview. A group of people received a paper of questions (like white board interview) You need to answer the questions correctly and the employer will check your answer and give you feedback.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A lot of them are on leetcode.
e.g.: reverse an array (width: 2 with power of n) using recursion
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in Jul 2016
Interview
Two Phone screens
Phone screens were some basic comp arch and c++ coding question (linked lists)
NVidia does many phone screens, sometimes it can be 3
Very Slow to respond after final interview
May have you interview with two separate teams
1 onsite in Santa Clara
5 different interviewers back to back
1 designer, 1 manager, 3 verification engineers

I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Beaverton, OR) in Sep 2016
Interview
Simply the worst company I have dealt with. Extremely slow or no responses at all. I had to reach out to the HR person just about every time I completed a stage. First time I gave her 2 weeks, then reached out. Still took another week to get a response. Second time I only waited a week, took another 3 day to get a response.
The job was basically writing "glue" code to tie together advanced tools, and to support the designers. A job I had more than 10 years of experience in. But the last technical phone screen person started asking about advanced algorithms. He admitted it was a small % of the job, but continued to press for actual code. I explained that I just ask people who know for help if I get stuck on such things, but he still pressed. I was pretty sure I wasn't getting the job at that point.
After two more weeks of no contact from the HR person, I reached out and got a very fast not interested email. So clearly it was on her to do list...
No other company has been this disrespectful of my time.
Hopefully it was just that one HR person or something.

Question 1
I was asked to code up an undirected graph and do something with it. I don't recall the something. Graphs were never my strongest... I am mostly a scripter, which was what the job was. So never got through this question.
