I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at National Instruments (College Station, TX) in Jan 2014
Interview
The recruiter is incredibly nice! It was a very relaxed interview for the most part. Half the interview was behavioral questions and the other half was technical based. They will explain the purpose of all behavioral questions to you so that you can kind of center your answer around it. The best part is they tell you exactly what they are looking for so you don't have to guess. The technical portion of the interview was probably the toughest part; it was a combination of software and hardware knowledge. Brush up on your knowledge of bitwise conversions and how ADCs function. Finally, know arrays!

Question 1
Given this sinusoidal wave and an ADC, what is the digital representation?
Friendly, relatively easy. Not as difficult as other competitors. May have been easier since I was a student coming out of school and it was a past student. Very excited

Interview
Lasted for about an hour. Some basic behavioral and situational questions to start and then two technical questions. I submitted my resume to a recruiter at my campus's career fair and was offered an interview the next day. The interviewer was very nice. They want to make sure they have people who are excited about what they'll be doing - not just yes-men/women.
