The National Instruments interview process is by far the most organized, talent-seeking, and mentally stimulating process I have been put through while applying for a job.
It began on campus while speaking to them at the career fair. A few general questions and they ask you and then they give you a chance to talk. The recruiters are great. Don't be fooled though, you are being evaluated right from the get go!
Second there was an on campus interview 2 days later. They interviewed 30 or so students on campus during the week they were there. The interview was 30 minutes biographical and 45 minutes of technical problem solving. Lots of questions about leadership and situational decision making. The technical portion was challenging, but they don't expect you to know the answers. They want to see how you think and the questions you ask. Everybody there knows what they are doing, so BS'ing will not work for the technical portion.
Lastly, you go to Austin for a few days of final round interviews. 4 students from my school were invited down for a full 8 hours of interviewing, then given 2 nights there to roam the city and see if you like Austin (all paid for). You are given a sponsor for the weekend and they will offer up some fun activities for you. Oh... And ALL THE FOOD IS AMAZING (and again, paid for).
The process was so wonderfully organized it took all the pressure off and you could just have fun. There are 6 interviews during your day on their campus -company fit, biographical, your choice of two company department heads you prefer in advance, another technical interview, and then a prepared 10-15 minute presentation on a topic of your choosing. It is mentally draining, but an amazing experience.
Have fun and soak it up. I learned more in the interviews on some subjects than I have in many classes in college.

Assessment Day includes 4 stages. A Behavioral Interview, a Technical Interview, a Technical/Sales Presentation and a Group Activity.
The Behavioral Interview is your standard scenario interview questions, strengths, weaknesses, that sort of thing.
The Technical Interview is a series of questions where one questions answers is subsequently used in the next question. I was asked about how a computer would recognize a spectrum of shades in an image. This in turn led to some psuedo-coding which led to a contrasted image wherein I had to use or reevaluate my psuedo-code. It is the point of the exercise not necessarily to know the straight answer, rather work your way through the answer by asking questions to the interviewer so that they may help you understand.
The Presentation is a simple sales presentation using technical specs and showcasing your understanding for the product, how and why etc. It's fairly free-form and the other presentations differed vastly.
The Group activity is simply about showcasing organizational skills and quantity/quality of solving something under pressure.
