I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Texas Instruments in Dec 2022
Interview
Self introduction. Then I was asked about experience of verifying the correctness of ic design, the basic procedure and what I have already done. At last they also introduced the duty of the internship. Overall it’s a good experience, staffs are friendly.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX) in Dec 2016
Interview
Spoke to TI at a career fair. Process went on for 3+ weeks. 1 interview at the university, 1 phone call and 3 on-site rounds. I interviewed for a general pool, after which individual managers picked me and offered me a job in their team.

Question 1
Setup Time, Hold Time, Max Clock Frequency and other usual Digital Design questions combined with a lot of difficult ones and some personality-based questions.
The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX) in Dec 2014
Interview
Three rounds. The first round was on campus. The manager asked about my project (I could talk about any project). It was more behavioral. The second round was a web-session interview. Two engineers asked about my projects, and asked both technical (they asked me questions based on the project I talked with them) and behavioral questions (have you ever had difficulty working with someone in a team?). They flew me in Dallas for the third round. Two managers each asked me for one hour. Both were heavily technical interview sessions.
I was not happy in that although I was in for a digital verification role, the first manager grilled me hard on analog circuit and device physics related questions.
