I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
At first, I got a phone interview from HR staff. She asked me some questions about my prior experiences and minimum requirement they posted on the job position. After passed it, I got an another phone interview with team manager and he asked me some basic programming skills and hardware knowledge. Final step is to get a phone interview with senior manager. Most questions are based on the knowledge I learned in the class or my experiences that I described on my resume. All processes were finished in 2 weeks and I got a call from HR staff for my offer.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in Jun 2013
Interview
I was initially emailed by an HR person who set me up with a phone interview. The phone interview was with a very rude manager who kept interrupting me and spoke with a heavy indian accent. He asked me a few questions that were not very clearly defined in my opinion. The conversation ended earlier than I had been told (15 minutes as opposed to 45) which I think was due to the fact that I asked for several clarifications. A few weeks later I was emailed that I was not chosen for the position.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
if there exists a sequence of integers in order, and you are at a receiver and you obtain these integers out of order, how can you know which integer is missing?
asked me several questions about face detections, the interviewer did not know much about this topic though and was just trying to test the level of my knowledge.
I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at NVIDIA in Mar 2013
Interview
I was selected through a college campus fair event, where they selected my application based on answers given for set of design questions. I answered 3 phone interviews spread out over 1.5 months. HR would mail me, asking for availability over 2 weeks time. The hiring managers and HR are very prompt and helpful.
