I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AMD (Markham, ON) in Oct 2019
Interview
0. Applied via a referral
1. Phone interview : The phone interview was arranged by a manager via the email. Received a phone call from the members of the team I applied to. The dialogue was mostly for a pre-screening purpose. The invitation for the on-site interview was provided by a manager the day after the phone interview.
2. On-site interview : The on-site interview was scheduled the week after the phone interview. The interview was conducted by 2 members of the team. The interview was mostly on technical questions. There were lots of brain-teasing questions. It took about an hour and a half.
3. After the interview : I sent thank-you emails to the team members and the manager and did not received a reply. I am not hearing if I receive an offer or not from AMD at all.
