Interviewed Feb 2012 in Santa Clara, CA (took 2 months)
I found nvidia in my universities career fair, talked to them about summer internships and they gave a quiz for the hardware engineering position. Two weeks later I received an email for a phone interview, I had to do three of those. Overall the interviewers were all nice, relaxed and they all seem smart, it sounds like and awesome place to work. The questions were straightforward like timing analysis, designing with logic gates and multiplexers, state machines, low level coding.

Interviewed May 2009 in Santa Clara, CA (took 1 week)
Three rounds of phone interview. Each interview lasted 45 minutes and all of them were very challenging.
They tested everything listed on my resume and I also had to describe quite a few of my graduate level projects in detail.

I applied for the summer internship and had the three phone interviews. The first and second interviewer were technical engineers, and the third should be the group manager.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 7 weeks)
I heard about the job through a friend in the company. I was contacted by email for a phone interview about a week after submitting my resume. The phone interview lasted about an hour. About a week after the phone interview I was again emailed about coming for an onsite interview. Due to my schedule I had to put my interview a couple weeks later. The company paid all travel expenses. The people who interviewed me were intelligent and for the most part friendly. I was interviewed by several people. Then taken to lunch by another. Then was interviewed by one more person after lunch.
