I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Plano, TX) in Nov 2013
Interview
I talked to on-campus recruiters at my university's career fair about my experience, what i was interested in, etc. They invited me for an on-campus interview later that week. The on-campus interview was about 30min and the woman asked me some questions but also told me a lot about what she did as a sales engineer. I received a somewhat cryptic followup email about "we were pleased to meet with you, we will let you know if we have any positions meeting your qualifications." I then received a formal invitation to interview again. This time it was through a service called HireView, where i had to complete a video interview where they flashed a question for :30s then i had 1min to record my answer before the next question popped up. I then was invited for a final interview, also through the HireView site, but this time with a manager. I was then emailed a few weeks later with an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions included: Explain how an op-amp works. What is the greatest struggle you have encountered and what did you do about it? What is your greatest weakness?
Straight-forward. A mix of behavioral and technical questions. Due to the nature of this role, more behavioral questions were asked and questions about the integration of marketing and engineering. Some of the questions were a bit silly, but did make you think critically about how you answered. They really want to see that you understand the engineering concepts, but are also able to adapt/attempt to develop an understanding of things that you may not have a great idea about.

I applied online. I interviewed at Texas Instruments
Interview
Just had one interview scheduled, a mix of behavioral and technical. It lasted about 30/40 minutes, starting with about 2/3 technical questions, and ending with behavioral questions. Technical questions were hardware-related, behavioral were tailored to my resume and experience.

Question 1
Q: What was one time you had to have a difficult conversation and how did you go about doing so?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX) in Oct 2024
Interview
Internships only require 1 interview, it was 45 minutes and virtual via HireVue. I applied through a referral link and a week later I got an email to schedule my interview. My interviewer was pretty nice and chill, he even told me to take a break after responding to his questions so he talked more about TI and his role.
