I submitted an application online, and received an email from a current technical writer asking for more information 7 or 8 weeks later. I provided them with my current GPA and several writing samples. A day later I got an email about setting up a phone interview and an editing test. The phone interview lasted less than an hour, and was conducted by the same technical writer who had emailed me. Questions were largely behavioral and focused mostly on collaborative work. The editing test was a timed edit of a product manual, focusing on style and consistency. Several days after the phone interview, National Instruments invited me to an on-site interview. They provided a list of several Fridays to visit, and arranged all the travel and accommodations. The on-site interview consisted of a full day of group interviews, product demonstrations, a campus tour, lunch with other technical writers, and a writing test. Outside of the writing test, the interviewing is behavioral. Great emphasis is put on collaboration and technical experience. The general structure and career paths of NI are outlined. All interviewers are technical writers of varying levels of experience. NI provides a host to ferry candidates between interviews and answer questions through the process.

Incredibly unprofessional. After 3 rounds of HR nonsense interviews, two technical interviews, and one test assignment, which in total took up to 7+ hours, they couldn't even be bothered to send a rejection letter, or any sort of feedback. Even though, multiple times throughout the process I was told that I would not be left hanging, expect a response in 3 days, etc. I tried reaching out to multiple people, none replied, except for one HR person who just said that the recruiter is out of office. No return date or anything like that, and now it has been well over a month. Incredibly rude to have people go through your entire interview process then just ghost them. Especially when you are strongly implying during the interview that they will send an offer. They also kept setting up interviews while not really considering the 7 hour time zone difference. The company itself also didn't list out pay, benefits, and when asked, they pointed me to their career portal, which, again, had none of these listed out. I don't know if the blame is with the Hungarian office, or the US one.
