I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at National Instruments in Mar 2011
Interview
I met NI at the career fair. I talked about projects I had worked on in the past and explained what I knew about the company and asked about positions that fit my skills. I was called up that night to schedule an interview on campus. The interview was data structures and algorithms based. I believe there was a hardware question as well, but it didn't require prior knowledge.

Question 1
I didn't have any questions that were too overly difficult or unexpected. They asked about traversing lists and printing them out backwards. They wanted many different methods of various efficiencies and wanted to explain the trade off of memory usage and processing time.

Interview
I applied online and through my university's career site. I got an interview around 2 weeks later to be scheduled the end of that week. I got an email after around 2 weeks saying I was rejected. Technical questions were easy, so I'm thinking I didn't correctly answer the behavioral questions.
