I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Bengaluru) in July 2012
Interview
Written Test was conducted. After clearing that different tech rounds were conducted. mainly from VLSI/CMOS/Synthesis. They mainly keep focus on the basics. But those will be asked in twisted manner, they actually test the overall understanding.

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
