I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Texas Instruments in Oct 2013
Interview
Submitted my resume through campus career fair, got the interview notification the second day. The interviewer asked me some behavior questions such as "what do you know about ti" "why do you want to join TI." They also asked about the TA experiences. Such as what you learned from your TA work. If you found an error in you notes at class, how do you handle it.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX) in Nov 2013
Interview
The interview process was extensive but extremely quick. After the career fair I had an interview the next day, two phone calls, one virtual interview and then they flew me to Dallas for two more interviews and a dinner with people in the program.
The process was great! They paid for flight, rental car, hotel room, dinner, and traveler check to cover any other items. TI takes care of you and you can tell that they treat all their employees like they matter. They are a top tier company and definitely show it.

Question 1
No unexpected questions. Advice is to show strong presentation skills.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX) in Oct 2013
Interview
First round was a webcam interview where you record yourself answering some basic behavioural/interest questions. Second round was a phone interview with two current TI Applications engineers. You prepare a 10 minute presentation on a technical project you've done for the phone interview, and share slides via TI's videoconference system. Third round was in person at TI - they fly you down to Dallas to interview at headquarters, again presenting on the same project.
Questions are technical, but based around your project (and expect a ton of behavioural questions if said project was a group project), so just make sure that you can talk in-depth about the dirty details. Also be prepared to discuss anything on your resume.

Question 1
Just all of the technical detail on my project - everything down to coding algorithms for a mainly hardware project.
