Grueling! At least 5 interviews. How many people does it take to make a decision? I felt like I was being interviewed for CEO. It seemed the purpose of the technical interviews (yes.. plural) was to impress me with their superior knowledge.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at National Instruments in Aug 2013
Interview
They visited our campus.
1. Aptitude test. the questions doesn't test on your knowledge but your understanding. Test paper was very well designed.
2. Programming test, I think they give great importance to this. You could find the test a bit challenging.
3. One round of interview, the interview questions include questions on data structure and algorithms. Again they don't look for your knowledge they just want to see the way you approach a problem.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at National Instruments (Austin, TX) in Sep 2014
