I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA)
Interview
Just got the initial behavioral interview for new grad, did not pass due to insufficient knowledge of GPU kernels and generally recent work at the company. Looks like they were looking like someone who knows everything about the company. Have experience with their products, which I did not.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about NVIDIA products you used or know about. What does NVIDIA really do?
L'objectif est de passer devant différents membres de la futur équipe afin d'évaluer les compétences techniques ainsi que le futur relationnel avec l'équipe. Plusieurs entretiens techniques sont attendus avec différentes séniorités
Was asked many AI-related questions. It is clear NVIDIA has a focus on AI competency, even if you aren’t working within an AI-related role. Overall, a challenging interview. Passion is a must.
Interview with HM, then with SA team member. Interview with HM went well. Then I waited >1 month for the SA team member to come back from holidays. The day of that 2nd interview, the interviewer didn't show up and I contacted the recruiter. The interviewed joined 50 minutes late and had a 10 minute chat about the role, where he didn't ask me any questions. Result? Rejection.
