Technical Coding
I applied online through their job portal. A few weeks later I got a call from a recruiter who set up a first round virtual interview. The interview was supposed to be one hour but it went on for almost two hours. The interviewer never checked if I was okay with going over the scheduled time, he just kept asking question after question. What really bothered me was he only got to the real coding questions almost 90 minutes into the interview, when my brain was already fried. The interviewer couldn’t figure out how to copy the coding questions into the whiteboarding tool we were using. On top of that, his internet connection was really bad, and I could barely understand what he was saying half the time. Overall, this was not the kind of experience I expected from a company like NVidia.

Technical
The initial phase was a project assignment where I needed to design and build a WebAssembly interpreter in C++. The objective was to run a set of given test modules and handle the main WebAssembly instructions and features. I tackled it like a real engineering project: organizing the codebase with a clear architecture, splitting out parsing, execution logic, and memory management, and using CMake to set up and manage the build system.

Behavioral Technical Coding System Design
The interview process was organized and professional. It began with an initial HR screening call that focused on my background, experience, and motivation. The technical phase included one to two coding interviews covering data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving. The questions involved writing clean, efficient code and explaining trade-offs. There were also conversations about system design and my previous project experience. In addition, the interviewers went into detailed questions on core concepts important for the role (for example, multithreading, OOP principles, memory management, and performance optimization).

Behavioral Technical Other
The interview process was long and felt a bit chaotic. I had a total of nine virtual interviews over four months, including two interviews with the hiring manager and seven with different members of the Robotics team. Partway through, both the HR and interview coordinator changed, which caused almost a full month with no communication or follow-up. This lack of continuity made everything feel disorganized and stretched out more than necessary. The interviews themselves didn’t seem to follow a clear or consistent structure. Most chats were informal and conversational, and varied a lot depending on each interviewer’s role and personal interests. Still, the people I met were honestly smart, thoughtful, and passionate about what they’re doing, and I really enjoyed many of the individual conversations. With a more structured and better-coordinated interview process, the overall candidate experience could be much better.
