I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Texas Instruments in Jan 2015
Interview
Talked to them at our school's career fair and submitted my resume through the online portal our school has as well. Multiple rounds of interviews. First one was an on-campus interview where the guy literally just went through my resume, asked me questions about it and me, and talked about what he does at the company. Second, they make you go on this website and submit a 15-30 minute long video of yourself answering on-screen behavioral questions. Really weird and kinda awkward just talking to yourself the entire time but nothing too hard. Finally, hiring managers from different teams call you or do video conference interviews with you. Some (like Quality and Marketing) ask purely behavioral questions with maybe a few really easy technical questions while others (like Applications Engineering) ask a lot of technical questions and really pick your brain to see how much you've done and how smart you are. I got an email about two weeks after my last one saying that I got accepted as a Quality Engineer.

Interview
Was first recruited at my university's career fair and set up an interview the next day. It was pretty general, just asking personal questions and a lot about my resume. I got lucky though because the recruiter didn't see on resume that I've done a presentation in the past and commented on that if he had he would of made me do it for the first interview. So be prepared! I had a second phone interview with two quality engineers at the same time and they went into even more detail about my resume and threw in a few technical questions but mainly they just wanted to know about projects I have worked on and what machines I have used. The third interview they flew me out to Dallas and it was a day long affair. There were 8 of us split into 2 groups but they made it explicit we weren't there for the same job which was a huge relief. First half was a presentation given by a recent new hire(less than a year with the company) so it was easy to identify with them and more relaxed. Then lunch where you can meet supervisors and managers which was great networking experience. After lunch came our 20 min technical presentation and then 2 separate interviews. The hardest part of the day was the presentation but everyone was really nice so it wasn't too stressful. The fact that there were other students present at this point actually helped a lot so we could kind of cheer each other up.
If you have a really technical project that pertains to the job field definitely go into a lot of detail with it for the presentation. I did and the rest of my interviews weren't technical because of that.
The interview processes for other positions is a lot different though and you might not get to do a presentation. I know for design they set up a white board and have you draw things for them.
