Process

Apply on Nvidia Workday for a summer internship. After about a month, I received two rounds of technical interviews for the system software security team. I interviewed with future co-workers. The questions were not difficult and were quite interesting.

Questions

1st round: C/C++ coding on bitwise operations and simple linked list algorithms.

2nd round: BFS + DP algorithm question in Python.

Excellent Company to work for

Senior Engineer • Current Employee

Redmond, Washington, United States

Pros: Non-adversarial culture, with helpful people who believe in the product. Individuals aren't encouraged to succeed as much as the team. Smart and savvy leadership from the top. Work/life balance is the best I've ever seen, although it varies among teams. Perks are above average and are logically getting better with company growth. No ceiling, tons of potential, and a more down-to-earth feel, especially at satellite offices.

Cons: New to industries other than GPUs and SoCs, so slow starts there and other bets that haven't quite paid off yet. Lack of structure can be frustrating for some folks, e.g., the rewards system. Career growth can be slow and questionable, with a very flat organization.
