I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at NVIDIA in Aug 2012
Interview
My resume was submitted to HR by a former colleague who works there. I was contacted the next week about several opportunities in several different groups. Initially I was set up to have a phone interview but that was changed to an in-person interview at the Santa Clara site. The interview was with an engineering group manager and we spent close to an hour going over details in my resume. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. There was a follow-up phone interview with a different engineering manager. This one was pretty similar to the first one (mostly focusing on details in my resume and my past experience). I was contacted after this interview to schedule an on-site technical interview, which was supposed to last approximately 45 minutes. I ended up not going in for the last interview... because I accepted an offer at a different company.
