Talent Acquisition Manager at AMD
No Offer – Interviewed in Austin, TX – Reviewed Apr 27, 2013
Interview Details – Two phone interviews, one with the recruiter and another with the hiring manager. I then went through a full day of interviews. They were just in the process of starting a new way of interviewing where each interviewer had a different value they were asked to probe. It was a behavioral interview format. The main concern about the process was that there wasn't clarity, and in some cases, disagreement on what they really needed in the position.
Interview Question – There really wasn't a difficult question. Answer Question

Co-Op at AMD
Declined Offer – Reviewed Apr 24, 2013
Interview Details – The interview was off-site and on-campus. There were two rounds with two hiring managers from two different locations, one west coast and one east coast. The interviews were pretty relaxed, and were predominantly technical after basic introductions. One was exclusively analog with a fairly basic written circuit problem, asking about I/O behavior. The other was more on the digital side but ended with a rod-related question.
Interview Question – The rod-related question asked about how different electrical properties of the rod would change with length or volume. Answer Question

Co-op at AMD
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Austin, TX Aug 2009 – Reviewed Apr 4, 2013
Interview Details –
The interview process is allows the coops to talk to many different groups, both in an informal setting as well as follow-up technical interview with selected groups the next day.
Very good process and highly recommend. The informal setting allows co-ops and AMD engineers to mix and discuss what they do as well as try to land an interview for the next day.
The interviews the next day are approximate one 1-hour interview per group that is actually hiring.
Interview Question – Mostly technical questions related to computer architecture, vlsi, and digital design. nothing very unexpected but need to know the basics very well. Answer Question
