I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in Jun 2014
Interview
Was contacted on Linkedin. Initial phone interview was scheduled in a few days, followed by a 4 hour onsite interview (5 people @ 45 min each), the 5th was the team manager.
The phone interview was really standard -- data structures, UVM, ASIC performance, Big O notation, etc. The onsite interview was divided as follows:
1) UVM basics and testbench development
2) Cache design
3) C++ questions (strings, arrays, data structures, etc.)
4) Digital Design questions
5) General overview questions, background etc. (With manager of the group).

Question 1
My previous experience, as well as a few mock examples related to verification and what my process would be
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Austin, TX) in Jul 2012
Interview
Had got a referral through a contact there, so the HR contacted me over email. I had 3 phone interviews scheduled, one after the other over the course of 2-3 weeks. Nothing difficult, about my resume and some simple programming basics. Then I was called onsite for half a day, where I had 5 technical interviews of 45+ mins each spanning programming techniques, designing, computer architecture, system verilog, c, c++ (i had them on my resume). Most of the interviewers were very friendly, good people. I enjoyed the interview.
