      Physical Design Engineer Coop Interview

      17 June 2010
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Santa Clara, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) in June 2010

      Interview

      I applied through the university job search website. Then the company HR sent me an e-mail to schedule a phone interview. The engineer who was to interview me could not manage time to call me at the scheduled time and I had to reschedule with the HR rep. The interviewer called me the second time, but he was 20 minutes early. That threw me off a bit. The interview consisted of very technical questions all concerned primarily with Digital Integrated Circuit Design. The interviewer did ask me about my experiences and interests and asked a couple of questions pertaining to my interests. He also asked a very basic algorithm question. Overall a very technical interview. I would advice other interview candidates to just prepare well for technical questions. The overall attitude of the interviewer was not very open and friendly. It seemed very mechanistic in my opinion.
