NVIDIA Software Engineer interview experience

The interviewer made it clear that the debugging phase mattered just as much as the initial solution. I had to think about edge cases and intentionally test the function with inputs that could break assumptions, not just prove it worked for the “normal” cases.

That focus on test coverage changed the way I approached the problems. I spent time walking through what would happen for tricky inputs and how I’d validate correctness during debugging.

I didn’t receive an offer. Still, I appreciated the clarity of what they were evaluating—I left feeling like the main gap, if there was one, wasn’t
