The Senior Managers in IT were some of the most arrogant and cocky individuals I've ever interacted with in a professional setting.
I get the feeling that Nvidia has a ton of politics and arrogant individuals. I'd avoid it at all costs.
I was really close to dropping out of the interview process. It took them a super long time to get back to me, even after I passed the interviews.
I had six rounds of interviews, between coding and manager-based interviews.
One female manager was actively slacking and emailing people while interviewing me. She paid me zero attention. I could see her looking back between different screens and typing as she was conducting the interview.
It showed a complete lack of respect and was insanely unprofessional. This is when I decided to leave the interview process.
You should seriously consider interviewing here only to leverage their offer against your current employer or against other offers. That's the only reason to interview here.
I feel bad for people who have to work in this environment.
They asked easy JavaScript questions.
The technical interviewer would try oddly hard to "trip you up" and ask if "You're 100% sure" with your answer before rendering your code.
After saying, "Yes, I'm positive" a few times (and being right), he kept doing it. They try to inject fear into the interview process, which is lame.
I've completed several technical interviews, even with FANG companies, over the past decade. The technical interview with Nvidia was the most obnoxious experience of all of them.
Get better at interviewing people.
