I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AMD in Sep 2011
Interview
Got a phone call requesting a relatively immediate interview from a member of the operations team (i had no previous contact from them, for example with an HR person), so I had to schedule for a weekend phone interview.
After briefly describing their responsibilities -- test/verification-- went straight into technical questions regarding basic device physics -- transistors, bandgap, fermi level, etc, and was a bit caught off guard.
Was expecting hardware type topics (since I applied to mostly these positions) so I was not at all brushed up on some of these fundamentals. Interviewer was not very friendly or helpful and was very condescending when I had trouble remembering some of these topics since it had been a year since i had taken a related course. Know all your basics and you should be OK
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AMD (Markham, ON) in Nov 2024
Interview
Phone screening, then a virtual interview that was first basic personality questions, then technical questions specific to the role. For me, it was MOSFETs and then logic-based embedded coding questions

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AMD in Feb 2022
Interview
There were 3 rounds of interviews, all remote. The first interview was with the manager, and he gave me the entire time to ask questions about the group and the work they do. The second and third interviews were with members of the team who asked me about the courses I took, then asked basic technical questions that were relevant to their work and related to my resume; I had time to ask them more questions at the end.

Question 1
Why do discrete GPU's have higher performance when compared to System-on-Chip GPU's?
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AMD
Interview
Was good overall, nothing too difficult. As long as you know what you're doing and study beforehand, you should be fine. They'll probably get back to you within the week of a job posting closing.

Question 1
A lot of questions relating to software + digital electronics
