I began the hiring process at my university career fair, and I was contacted via email by the end of the week to set up an on-campus interview. Before my interview, I attended an on-campus informational that described the opportunities at NI, both within and outside of the ELP. Definitely attend this informational if you have the opportunity. If you can't, then make sure you are familiar with the opportunities at NI. Also, make sure you have an idea of what their corporate culture is like - it was also a major topic of discussion at the informational
The interviewer did a good job making me feel comfortable throughout the interview. After some small talk, he asked three behavioral questions and two technical questions. None of the questions were particularly difficult. For the technical questions, it appeared as though he cared more about observing my thought process.
Overall a very good experience.

Interview
I first met with them at the career fair in October and then had an on campus interview the next day. They are currently going through major changes in the company right now so I didn't have my next interview till January. I am currently still in the process.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at National Instruments (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Apr 2019
Interview
Received an interview two months after applying. First interview was mainly about times where I’ve demonstrated teamwork and customer service skills. Received feedback the following day with an invitation for a second phone interview.
The second phone interview was slightly more technical due to the interviewer focusing more on what I’ve done throughout my degree. They also asked if there were interesting achievements/hobbies that I haven’t put in my CV. Received feedback and an invite to the assessment centre the following day.
Assessment centre consists of a technical interview, a competency interview, a tour, a technical presentation and a group activity. Have yet to attend the assessment centre.
