I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at AMD (Bengaluru) in Jul 2013
Interview
Pretty exhaustive. First a telephone round with the hiring director. Then an onsite interview with the director again followed by interviews with the peers. Questions were ranging from past work experience in managing large scale programs, challenges faced, etc. There focus was also on transitioning teams to agile way.
Then another series of telephone interviews by couple of other directors and with the Corporate VP. Turns out in the group I interviewed for the VP interviews every single person who joins his team. In all I spoke to 8 different people. Overall the interview experience was exhaustive and long. I felt it was too much for a Program Manager II role.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AMD (Austin, TX)
Interview
30 minute phone screen. face-to-face: 1 hour with each interviewer, had 4 interviews. Mix of behavioral and technical questions, but these interviewers did not appear to have coordinated between them what areas they would ask about.
Facilities, offices, work environment in Austin is very modern and well maintained.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The level of technical questions vs. project management skills were a bit surprising for a Program Manager.
