I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at NVIDIA in Oct 2016
Interview
I had a phone interview with a team lead who asked questions about my PhD thesis and work experience. Next week I had second phone interview with another team lead who also asked about PhD thesis and past work experience. After that I did not hear from the company for 3 months. I kept asking the recruiter. Finally they got back and scheduled a third phone interview. After that I was told they would not continue with the interview process.
