I applied online. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in Oct 2009
Interview
Applied for job when in school HR contacted me. Arranged for a phone interview with the hiring manager. He was very polite and asked me to mail him a Cycle in Linked List solution. On site was long and rigorous. About 4 engineers + 1 manager + 1 VP + 1 HR. Most questions were around concurrent systems / race conditions / deadlocks / livelocks / semaphores / Operating systems internals. The newer members asked about bit twiddling hacks (please go through Stanford bit twiddling hacks once you wont regret it :-))
Two technical interviews if you pass you got invited to the third interview that will be with HR. If you pass (the two technical and hr interviews) you will receive an offer.

They asked to talk about some projects I worked on and then also asked two leetcode questions. I answered both questions correctly, although the second one I answered more slowly and the code was not organized but the solution was correct.
