I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at National Instruments in Sept 2017
Interview
Two interviews: the first was in person, lasted around 50 minutes, and consisted of 5 questions. The first three questions were behavioral, and the latter two were technical. (one hardware, one software).
The second interview was over the phone and lasted 30 minutes. This interview was more casual; the interviewer wanted to see if I'd be a good fit for NI. With this in mind, he asked me about why I would like to work at NI, and why I wanted to be in the Engineering Leadership Program. He also asked what I generally am looking for in a job. Overall it was a great process.

I applied through university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at National Instruments (Norman, OK) in Jan 2020
Interview
I first met with them at the career fair in October and then had an on campus interview the next day. They are currently going through major changes in the company right now so I didn't have my next interview till January. I am currently still in the process.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at National Instruments (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Apr 2019
Interview
Received an interview two months after applying. First interview was mainly about times where I’ve demonstrated teamwork and customer service skills. Received feedback the following day with an invitation for a second phone interview.
The second phone interview was slightly more technical due to the interviewer focusing more on what I’ve done throughout my degree. They also asked if there were interesting achievements/hobbies that I haven’t put in my CV. Received feedback and an invite to the assessment centre the following day.
Assessment centre consists of a technical interview, a competency interview, a tour, a technical presentation and a group activity. Have yet to attend the assessment centre.
