I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at NVIDIA in Dec 2020
Interview
Phone interview, talked about the position (cuda kernels for deep learning) and 2 coding problems. Very friendly. I was unprepared for technical interviews at the time unfortunately. Overall the interviewer was very professional, never once hinted that he was impatient due to my lack of preparation and answered all my questions very thoroughly.

A typical software engineering coding interview focuses on problem-solving under time pressure. Candidates are usually given one or more algorithmic problems similar to those found on LeetCode. The interviewer evaluates data structures, algorithm selection, code correctness, time and space complexity analysis, communication clarity, edge-case handling, and debugging ability. Interviews often begin with clarifying questions, followed by writing executable or near-executable code on a shared editor or whiteboard. Strong candidates explain trade-offs, optimize incrementally, test thoughtfully, and remain calm while reasoning through unfamiliar problems.
