Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied through an employee referral I interviewed at NVIDIA
Had an initial phone interview with the company. Was pleasant, although there was some discrepancy between what the group wanted in the job ad, and what they wanted to move forward.
- Research experience with Deep Neural Networks.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at NVIDIA
Three phase: 1) Submitted an resume 2) Contacted by a researcher -- Talked about my recent researches 3) Second interview with the manager -- Talked about my recent researches and the project I'll do when I joint the company
- Q: Can you briefly summarize the paper XX and explain the technical difficulty and how you solved the issue

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Reading, England
I applied in-person. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Reading, England)
I had an initial call then was asked to come for a technical interview. After that I was asked to come for an HR interview. The interviewers were late at least 10 minutes as they haven't arrived to the office yet even though it was during working hours. After the official interview time was over, they asked if I could stay longer to continue with their questions. I had an appointment so I couldn't stay. They were more interested in ticking the boxes rather than giving a feel of the company culture. After that they sent an automated mail (I'm assuming to all candidates) saying the vacancy was put on hold. Massive waste of my time and worst impression any employer can give really. I will never apply for anything again in Nvidia due to my bad HR experience.
- HR related questions for example do you prefer to work in a team or alone and they mentioned that the work load was a lot

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at NVIDIA
Four different interviews by technical managers, all very pleasant. No coding interview. Everything was over MS teams, but this was during COVID. Entering details in the application was tedious. Each interview lasted about one hour.
- KPIs for a project, some Python questions, some computer architecture questions.

First round of interview in which they ask about ourselves, about process executive & about process executive responsibilities. In the 2nd interview round they gives us an online test which is totally based on IT or can say which is based on grammatical, mathematical & about computer related questions. In third round they scheduled an vedio interview.

Applied online and a recruiter reached out to schedule interviews. Two rounds of online face-to-face meetings. One Resume/behavioral and one Technical rounds. Overall very laid back and it felt like having a conversation with the interviewers.
