Interviewed Sep 2011 in Austin, TX (took a day)
Got selected for an on-site interview after on-campus interview. There were three interviews in one day in Austin, all of them very technical. It seemed that they kept asking questions that made the original problem progressively harder, until they inevitably get you with some detail you can't remember... Overall, though, I think they were very professional and took care of the details of my trip to their HQ.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Austin, TX (took 2 weeks)
A one hour interview with two people. One person began the interview by asking behavioral questions for about 15 minutes, including areas of interests etc. Next I got asked two technical questions by the other person. Overall the interviewing experience was quite good. Everytime I got stuck with the questions, I was guided in the right general directions without giving me too much, and I got clear, honest answers to the questions I asked them regarding NI's future, what i am to expect etc.

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took 4 days)
The interview consisted of technical and behavioral questions. The technical questions were on basic analog concepts like op amp amplifiers, low pass/high pass filters and power converters. The behavioral questions discussed my projects. The first question was to give an example of a project where I had to use my debubbing capabilities and the second was to discuss a project I enjoyed working with and specifically, what I loved about it.
