Interview experiences

"I interviewed for a Senior Technical Program Manager role at NVIDIA, probably around the L5 or L6 band. The process was one hiring manager screen followed by a four-interview panel, with two rounds that were more technical and two that were more behavioral. What stood out to me was that it felt less robotic than some other big tech loops. I did not feel over-timed on every answer, and the interviewers actually interacted with me instead of just writing notes nonstop. At the same time, they absolutely expected strong technical depth in AI and cybersecurity plus solid TPM fundamentals around prioritization, KPIs, ambiguity, and cross-functional leadership. I came away feeling like they wanted someone who could speak both the technical language and the program-management language at a pretty high level."
