Interviewed Feb 2011 in Santa Clara, CA (took 5 days)
I spoke with the hiring manager on the phone and then flew to the Bay area for a round of interviews. The on site interview was fairly standard - 5-6 interviews and a lunch interview with the hiring manager.
Most of the questions were focused on my past experience and domain specific questions on multimedia. There was one interview where I was asked a bunch of fairly straightforward coding questions.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Santa Clara, CA (took 1+ week)
Four phone interviews, each 45 min. First round was talking something about behavior question like what do you like in nvidia, how do you know us, and some basic C programming problems. Second and third round interview was on the same day with 1 hour interval, many low-level C programming problems, and bit operation: how to calculate 7*x without using plus and multiplication (using bit shift and subtraction); fourth interview was about my personal Operating System projects, mainly on process schedule, memory management. Knowing Offer about two weeks after the last round interview.
Very good interviewer - easygoing engineers.
Quite good company. I'm a tech fan of NVIDIA for more than 4 years!!!

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 5 days)
This interview basically goes through my resume. Some basic technical questions and mostly questions stems from my prior work experience. I wasn't do a good job in preparing some details of part of prior work, feel so so after the interview and didn't continue for the 2nd round interview. Do a better home work and be prepare for everything on the resume!

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Austin, TX (took a day)
Applied to an online job posting and was contacted by the hiring manager for a phone interview. Phone interview went well. A few basic technical questions, but nothing too hard.
A couple of weeks later, I was flown out for an on-site interview, where I met the hiring manager and several engineers. A few technical questions were asked (basic trivia-type questions, no problem solving), but nothing too difficult and certainly not enough to accurately gauge my abilities. The hiring manager was personable and pleasant. However, one of the engineers I spoke with was hostile, arrogant, and rude. I left thinking I probably wouldn't be offered the job. Overall, I was not impressed with nvidia. Few things are more irritating to me than a programmer with a god complex.
Was contacted a week and a half later and told I wasn't selected. Good.
