I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at National Instruments (Austin, TX) in Dec 2009
Interview
Was paired with a sponsor for the entire weekend that I was flown to Austin. He guided me through the all day interview process. I participated in three interviews. Each was approximately 1.5 hours with a different group within the company. Each started off with a few soft skill questions and quickly moved to technical questions. All interviews had at least one major question that would take 15-25 minutes to work through and provide a solution. Interviewers encouraged verbalization while working on problems. Seeing your thought process and how you tackled problems was their main goal. Each interview usually had two people from the group.
There were several breaks and presentations between interviews. The whole process was well streamlined and you were given a good picture of what the work environment was like. Was taken out to dinner twice and my sponsor did an excellent job of showing me around Austin. Great experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You need to determine if a spinning disc is rotating clockwise or counterclockwise. The disc has been painted with a black and white pattern. You have a sensor that can sample the disc and determine if the disc at that instance in time is black or white.
It was a smooth and productive experience, showcasing strong problem-solving skills and a solid grasp of data structures and algorithms during the DSA round. There were two rounds of technical conducted.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at National Instruments (Pulau Pinang) in Mar 2025
Interview
asked 2 questions, one of the question is object oriented programming question which I think is pretty hard will have to think deep through but the interviewer is kind enough to help you, if you don't understand
I applied for the position through campus placements, and the interview went well. The process was smooth, and I had a positive interaction with the interviewers. I am hopeful for a good outcome.
