I applied through university. I interviewed at Texas Instruments
Interview
Went through a recruiter after passing through an interview at a college career fair. Three interviews - one at the college, one over the phone, and an on-site interview. Typical interview questions asked; don't put something on your resume without expecting it to be asked as a technical question. Overall a good interview process.

Question 1
The weirdest part was during the on-site interview where they put the candidates in teams and made them work together to build a structure out of newspaper. Definitely irrelevant to a semiconductor manufacturing engineer, but I'm sure they were looking for interpersonal interactions and "soft skills."
It’s quick and easy. Started after a week of interview and testing. The interviewers are nice too. Good experience for an entry-level job. Happy to do this for my first corporate job.
I applied online. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Richardson, TX) in Feb 2023
Interview
Two video calls, both focusing more on what kind of person I am rather than technical skills. 2nd interview did go more deeply into my resume, was asked to explain my projects in detail and the challenges/successes I experienced with them.

Tell me about a time you struggled to solve a problem, and how you solved it.
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (College Station, TX) in Jan 2023
Interview
They asked me a lot of culture questions and a few technical questions about classes I had taken. The culture questions were a lot of asking about times I had messed up and then fixed it, or projects I had done.
