Average interview
Application
I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Texas Instruments in Jan 2019
Interview
Met with an engineer and a recruiter on campus who were there for a career fair. Interview was less than a hour and I was asked normal questions about my coursework and projects. They were interviewing a bunch of other candidates so it was pretty quick.

Question 1
How do you find the distance between two nodes in a Binary Tree?
They asked for an interview about 3-4 weeks after the application. It was a technical interview right away. The asked my previous experience, a lot about one of my previous projects. Nothing about why I want to work at TI honestly. The guy was super persistent, reading the same thing over and over.

What is concurrency? Could you write a program to compute factorial using concurrency?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2020
Interview
After a couple emails back and forth with a recruiter, I was asked to prepare an 8-9 minute technical presentation over WebEx (video call service). The slides could be re-used from a previous project, of course. After the presentation and discussing the project a bit further with the interviewer, he moved on to asking a wide slew of somewhat technical questions, offered some time for me to ask questions, then signed off.
