I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Kuala Lumpur) in Sept 2014
Interview
Highly competitive. Includes few stages of interview, from local management and HQ. Have to pass both technical and aptitude test. CGPA is considered, first class students are easier to get in. They do background check as well, make sure you get your facts straight. Also you need to go through medical checkup to ensure you are fit to work.
First started with behavioral questions then technical questions. Some technical questions they asked were op amps, RC circuits and coding question. Technical questions were pretty basic and interviewer was pretty nice.
One initial contact at a job fair, then one video call like zoom but using TI’s system, where your screen is shared and you present a project that you’ve worked on, and the last step was an in-person interview in Dallas, where they pay for the flight, the car, accommodations and meals. The last interview had two rounds, one behavioral and one technical.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to draw the truth tables of some simple logic gates: AND, NOR, etc…
Four rounds of interviews, two were by yourself and two were in person. First was a behavioral exam. For in-person basic technical questions were asked followed by a presentation about yourself.
