Technical Sales at Texas Instruments
Accepted Offer – Reviewed Apr 9, 2013
Interview Details –
It is an interview that has less concern about technical skills, but more concerned with how you are as a person, and if you have the potential to be a good seller . There is a 2 interviews and a simulation . Dress is Professional .
There is a prescreen interview before the onsite, it was a little different for me because you are asked five questions, and you have to record your answers. It is a little different because you are not actually talking to someone, and if you think you messed up a question, too bad soo sad ... you cant edit your recorded response...
Interview Question – love to win or hate to loose? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – no negotiation, was very happy with the package

Interview process took about 5 hours, meeting with 3 different groups with 2 people in each group. Decision was made following week.

Test Engineer Intern at Texas Instruments
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Warrenville, IL Jun 2011 – Reviewed Mar 27, 2013
Interview Details – I applied through website and got a call back a few weeks later. I had a phone interview which went really well and consisted mostly on my educational background and why I like analog electronics, as well as the various things on my resume. A month later I had another phone interview with a different manager with about the same results. I was made an offer and then accepted.

Design Engineer at Texas Instruments
No Offer – Reviewed Mar 27, 2013
Interview Details – Phone interview, lasted 30 minutes, with hiring manager. First 20 minutes going through back ground of the group, and my professional background. Next 40 minutes was the "Technical" portion. First question was regarding a signal crossing clock domains. how to handle this with it being a single signal. How to prevent metastability. How to handle a bus crossing clock domains. The second question was on how to implement a clock divider (by 2). then a clock divider (by-4). then an improved by-4 clock divider using a counter. Very low level stuff, but very typical of how mangers at TI like to interview. Have an onsite interview next...
