Although it is AMD staff find my resume online and arrange this interview, the hiring manager does not have a position related to my experience and expectation. So the interview lasted about a hour and half and we both know there would be no result. But at least, the interviewer still showed respect and I learned something from it.

A manager made a phone interview with me. During the interview, he asked some basic questions about what designer should know before designing the chip? What are the factors of voltage drop? What kinds of technologies are used in recent chip design?
Because I never worked in chip design company, some of the questions are for experienced designer.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Austin, TX (took 2 weeks)

Had 2 phone interviews with 2 different group members, mostly technical questions. Was originally scheduled for an on-site interview, then CEO change led to hiring freeze, thus process stopped here. Was told I may hear back in 30-45 days, but that has been surpassed. Interviews were somewhat difficult, but overall process was mostly positive.

Attended one of the "Interview Blizz", where interviewees sit in the cafeteria waiting to be called by individual interviewers. Had a number of 1:1 interviews, each took about 45min. Questions ranging from IQ test, fundamentals in electronics to practical design/testing considerations. Overall experience is good, people are nice, but got another offer and had to decline this one.
