I applied online. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX) in Sep 2016
Interview
Three round process.
First round: I spent about 15 minutes recording myself answering six behavioral questions via a virtual hiring portal called HireVue.
Second round: I spent about an hour talking one on one with an applications engineering manager via the same HireVue portal. This was very conversational. Technical questions will vary according to your resume and there are some similar behavioral questions.
Third round: I was flown to Dallas and stayed in a very nice hotel with the other candidates. We all had a very casual dinner with three current applications engineers who went through the same rotational program for which we were interviewing. The following day, you have two back-to-back 45 minute interviews with engineering and business unit managers. Very casual, more conversational than anything. They aren't going to ask you anything in hopes that you won't know the answer. All based on projects on your resume.
All in all, a very smooth process. After each round they get back to you within a few days to let you know if you're moving on or not.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX)
Interview
3 rounds. The first was behavioral with very simple technical questions -- what's the offset voltage of an ideal op am, setup & hold time, etc.
Second was mostly behavioral
Third was behavioral with focus on my resume.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview process was smooth, and my interviewer was nice. About 6 or 7 technical questions and 5 behavioral asked.
Technical questions were all on op-amps and the behavioral were mostly centered around how I dealt with challenges and maybe 2 on my projects that I had on my resume.
Multiple rounds with people from different groups within the same team. It all comes down to if you can work with the manager or not. It is important to ask questions back about the state of the team and what they're looking for.
