Each team has different interview processes. For this team, the first round interview was a technical interview with the hiring manager. I was asked a coding question on class design that didn't fully finish. I didn't pass to the next round.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
Consisted of three rounds:
1. Resume walkthrough + LC easy - Loved this round, the interviewer was actually interested in my experience.
2. LC Medium - Real bad experience, the interviewer just gave me the question, wasn't even interested. I managed to pass 13/15 test cases.
3. Hiring manager - Standard behavioral questions, good experience!

Question 1
LC easy - was basically API design
LC medium - was frequency counter for each token processed
I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA)
Interview
Met them at a career fair and was contacted subsequently. After about a week, I had a phone interview that comprised of some basic algorithms questions and discussions on my prior projects. The interview was a little less than an hour long. I did really well and was then invited onsite.
One of the scheduled interviewers did not make it and was replaced by some one else. There were 4 rounds.
i) with manager: a really interesting problem but the goal was to only approximate the solution and which involved subtle nuances of low level arithmetic
ii) algorithmic interview
iii) question on OS synchronization
iv) General interview in addition to discussion of my resume

Question 1
The question with the manager was not really difficult. The final expected solution was rather unimpressive.
