I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at NVIDIA in Dec 2010
Interview
I had two phone interviews. I thought the first one went bad. I was first asked about my previous experience. Then I was asked technical questions. I was asked about 4 technical questions per interview. They also build up on the questions that they asked and grilled you to see if you understand. Definitely defitnitely prepare. Read back your logic design class and your digital circuit class. Speak out loud your thinking process. If you do not know how to answer a question, just tell them what you know and truthfully admit that you do not know the question.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Portland, OR) in Jul 2008

I was referred by a friend for a particular group and I got an email from a recruiter. Although the position I was called for, didnt really match my profile.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most questions were pretty much standard. What hit me was the being a PhD student, I was asked questions from Sophomore level courses. This was opposite to my previous interview with IBM, where they really RESPECTED my research and analytically walked me through the interview. The questions were 10101 sequence detector, CMOS inverter with just NMOS, importance of caches etc
