Tegra Systems Software Engineering Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
Applied at a university job fair and was reached by a recruiter half a month later. Then began an interview process that lasted for 4 months—you are not reading wrong, 4 months. After three rounds of phone interviews, I waited for 1 month and was then called for an on-site interview in Santa Clara. The on-site consisted of interviews with 5-6 members of the team, so it was quite exhaustive. Imagine thinking, writing, and answering questions for 5-6 hours, even during your lunch time. In general, I can't say it was a pleasant experience.

- 5.0Perfection, Supportive Team, Hectic DeadlinesSummer Software Intern • Current EmployeeSanta Clara, California, United StatesAugust 9, 2024Pros: NVIDIA is the best because it compares itself to perfection (speed of light), not to others. Here, you will find the best culture, the best team (winning or losing), an exciting vision (mission is the boss), a flat and lovely hierarchy that encourages optimal flow of information, and the best pay and benefits so you can focus on doing your life's work without concerns. From my experience, it will be near impossible to find a place to work better than NVIDIA.Cons: 1. It's an agile company that moves fast under uncertainty. Many learning experiences will be uncomfortable, but one should get used to it. It gets much easier with such a supportive team. 2. Being in a product team, there will be some deadlines. It can get a bit hectic close to these deadlines, even when my supervisors try their best to keep me out of stress.
