The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX) in Dec 2011
Interview
I had an telephonic interview on November first week,though I thought it went well, 10 days later I was told that I have not been selected. 1 month after this I was called by the manager and was told they want me to be interviewed 1 week later and they will send me the schedule I was amazed but was happy that I have a chance, 2 days passed but wasn't given any schedule, there was lots of ups and downs during this interview. As I was promised for schedule which I never got instead I was told that I have to present something/anything 3 days before, which I prepared hurriedly. Interviews were very good and all the interviewers were very nice and friendly. Except the presentation, I feel everything went good.
Told to design a layout through a very slow laptop, be prepared. asked about parasitics in layout design, and effect of high voltage on MOS and what should you do.
