Applied to AMD (Xilinx) for a Senior/Staff DV role. The overall experience was a complete let down, the hiring process does not match the big name reputation AMD is having. Round 1 is HR screening which was very quick and smooth. Round 2 is a take-home assignment with 3-day duration. And I had to wait for 1.5 months to get processed for round 3, which was still acceptable. Round 3 is technical session where I wrote code and then explained my solutions. The questions were very easy for senior perspective, and I think it's a one-way path where there was only 1 right answer. And these codes are overlap with the take-home assignment. However, I got ghosted for 2 months. Regardless many follow-up messages, nothing but silence. When I moved on with another offer, I sent a personal message to the interviewer telling him my decision. Only then I got informed that my solutions were "too much" and hence a rejection. A fellow of mine (who is 2y older) got selected for the role. He shared that the compensation was way bellow online surveys and national average. * To sum up my thoughts -> a waste of time: totally 4 months spent (1-2 months between rounds). Only SystemVerilog tested. I already completed the take-home but had to rewrite the codes in the interview. No leadership, no soft skills, no asking about previous impacts and achievements, just boring codes. -> low standard: AMD is a big name, so I thought expectations should be held high. But not with the team I'm joining. Getting rejected for "being too much" at a name like AMD is kinda unexpected. -> the hiring team should rework the input-level, go out side and see what's the market doing. Bland lines of coding and proving it gonna work does not make a staff/senior dv engineer, it's junior, and the pay is junior. But the JD stated Snr/Staff. Yikes! -> And the JD is actually recruiting juniors making me sickly personal.

campus interview . 2 rounds, basic questions from STA , cmos, digital basics , verilog questions, verilog code for asynchronus d flipflop, blocking and non blocking statements, structure of 3 input OR gate, explain about static and dynamic power

1. HR Screen 2. Technical Round The whole process was around 2 weeks. You first get a call from the HR and then will answer questions. If you are successful, you will book a time for a technical interview.
