Interview
It was a nice interview in my university campus, the interviewer was very patient and friendly and before the interview start asked me if I wanted to know something about the company, the job, or anything else. It was my first interview so I was very nervous about it and because of that didn't answer the questions wisely.
He drew a coordinate system with points (imagine that it was like a million points) and asked me how would I point how many points were inside a circumference of radius R and position x and y

Interview
NI came to my university's career fair. After I talked to them and submitted my resume, they called me that night to set up an interview for the next day. The 30 minute interview was with 2 recruiters. It started off with some questions about my interests and past projects. After the behavioral part, they asked one pretty simple technical question. After I answered it, they asked me one follow up question about it. The last 5 or so minutes were for additional questions. They took me out to dinner that night and I got my offer after a week.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at National Instruments (Houston, TX) in Sep 2015
Interview
Applied online, received e-mail from recruiter asking to meet them at university career fair, met them there and was offered an on-campus interview. Around two weeks after the interview, I received an offer letter via overnight FedEx. I did not accept as I received better competing offers. Overall it was a fairly smooth and easy process.
