Solutions Architect Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
February 1, 2026
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied through an employee referral.
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 for someone who knows everything about the company. Have experience with their products, which I did not.

Pros: Within solution architecture, I have been able to explore multiple fields within AI and learn a lot. Coworkers are brilliant, and there is always an expert to ask questions to.
Cons: With solution architecture, there isn't a clear way as to what you can do next in your career. Nvidia will let you move between organizations, but there isn't a super-established path as to how you grow career-wise. Some go into business development, and some go into engineering and product.

Pros: Endless room to learn. Easy to move around. Focus on doing the right thing the right way. Small company feel. Amazing coworkers. Not overworked (depending on team).
Cons: You must be a self-starter to work here. This is a fast-paced company with projects starting and stopping often. There are a few teams with overly political management and directors who just keep failing up.
