I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NVIDIA in Aug 2024
Interview
Applied online and was scheduled for an interview a couple of weeks later. The first interview was a technical one with 30 minutes for hackerrank Python coding and 30 minutes for technical questions about skills and projects on my resume. Overall the interviewers were very patient and accommodating. It was generally a chill and positive experience. Time was short and a bit rushed so there was little time for me to go into depth on projects. Very important to remember STAR so as to not ramble about projects. Also very important to explicitly state the technical work you did (be a little egotistical). In my current role, it is taboo to talk about your work using "I" statements, and thus are forced to use "we" to promote a teamwork mentality, even if you've done all the work by yourself. I think this is somewhat common, so just remember to drop that idea and really sell YOU.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Practical Python function question, not really leetcode.
L'objectif est de passer devant différents membres de la futur équipe afin d'évaluer les compétences techniques ainsi que le futur relationnel avec l'équipe. Plusieurs entretiens techniques sont attendus avec différentes séniorités
Was asked many AI-related questions. It is clear NVIDIA has a focus on AI competency, even if you aren’t working within an AI-related role. Overall, a challenging interview. Passion is a must.
Interview with HM, then with SA team member. Interview with HM went well. Then I waited >1 month for the SA team member to come back from holidays. The day of that 2nd interview, the interviewer didn't show up and I contacted the recruiter. The interviewed joined 50 minutes late and had a 10 minute chat about the role, where he didn't ask me any questions. Result? Rejection.
