I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at NVIDIA
Interview
The interview process has been extremely long (telephonic rounds + Onsite). This process can take for sure around 2 to 3 months, which is excessive. But the worse thing is that after all this long process and very positive feedback from the interviews, it turned out that the position, as well as many open positions (+300), have been closed apparently due to a general hiring freeze, which is probably connected with the discouraging financial results of Q4 2019.

Question 1
One logical question and one leetcode style quesiton
Had a technical interview of 2 hours where they told me a little bit about the job, asked me to introduce myself, asked me about a project I did, and then there was a coding question.

Question 1
Asked me to explain about a project I did in university.
A typical software engineering coding interview focuses on problem-solving under time pressure. Candidates are usually given one or more algorithmic problems similar to those found on LeetCode. The interviewer evaluates data structures, algorithm selection, code correctness, time and space complexity analysis, communication clarity, edge-case handling, and debugging ability. Interviews often begin with clarifying questions, followed by writing executable or near-executable code on a shared editor or whiteboard. Strong candidates explain trade-offs, optimize incrementally, test thoughtfully, and remain calm while reasoning through unfamiliar problems.
