I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Tempe, AZ) in Oct 2015
Interview
I got the basic interview through career fair where they just checked the resume and asked few simple questions. They scheduled another face to face interview the next day. The interviewer was friendly and the interview lasted for half an hour.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions were mostly regarding the basics of MOS transistors, design of amplifiers etc and about the projects in resume.
i did the technical interview for 1h with two senior engineers using webex for the analog design engineer role and had to annotate using the mouse so it was uncomfortable
TI Design Engineer interviews cover analog/digital fundamentals, op-amps, STA, Verilog, CMOS, memory, and embedded C. Expect problem-solving, project presentation, and behavioral questions testing depth, reasoning, and technical clarity. Other than that it was basics.

Excellent experience being interviewed by TI. This was back in 2007-08. TI was my first ever job and I had the most fantastic experience of my life working for them
