I applied through university. I interviewed at National Instruments
Interview
The process was extremely expedited initially. The recruiters came to campus and scheduled an on-campus interview for select candidates the following day. The interview lasted approximately 1 hour and was composed of two parts, technical and behavioral. The interviewer took the time to explain that there were going to be two parts and the purpose behind the technical and behavioral questions. I would say that the interview was fairly standard as far as behavioral questions go: what is your biggest weakness, etc. The technical questions were also fairly easy and really wanted to get insight into the way you processed and thought about information, including your ability to program and construct simple engineering designs. NI notified the interviewee that they would hear back from them regarding the position shortly. A second, phone interview followed the initial screening interview about 2-4 weeks later. The NI representative wanted you to discuss your interest in the company, why you wanted to work there, and a few other casual simple questions. He then explained that I would hear back whether or not I would get an offer in 4-6 weeks. Nearly 3 1/2 months later, I have yet to hear back from the company who continues to site budget uncertainty for the delay.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There was no truly difficult question in this interview if you are to come fully prepared. Make sure to understand and have working knowledge of the company. The technical questions were probably the most difficult, however. The interviewer asked to describe the process by which you would go about setting up a system in order to conduct data acquisition and the importance of the different components in the system (i.e. control feedback loop, etc).
I somehow managed to get to the second round of interviews; however, they never scheduled one with me. At first, they said it was a mix up in management and that I should wait a bit longer. I did. After a while, I tried to reach out to figure out what was happening, no one ever got back to me. Completely unprofessional.

Question 1
If I wanted to record myself using a microphone and produce sound on a speaker, how would I go about doing so?
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at National Instruments (Nashville, TN) in Sep 2019
Interview
It was an on campus interview after talking to a recruiter at my school's job fair. It wasn't very high stress and the interviewer was very nice. During the software and hardware questions be sure to explain your thought process, they just wanna know how you think.

Question 1
After you tell them about a time you failed, they will ask if there were any positives or good things that happened in that situation.

Interview
talked to them at career fair. One of the guys then gave me a call at 8.30pm that same day to tell me to come in for an on campus interview the next day. The interview wasn't hard at all especially if you go through the interview questions on here first. Same format: 1 software, 1 hardware. They took forever to get back to you after the interview (over a month). I think they look for confidence more than a right answer. So even if you don't know something, talk like you own it. I just knew this position wasn't a fit for me since it's a technical support role (look up Application Engineers). I only came in for a practice, didn't even apply. If you wanna do hands on engineering designs, this is not for you
