I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AMD
Interview
30 minutes of resume screening going in depth on what is on your resume and your skills, then an online assessment, then 3 rounds of a mixture of technical and behavioral (each 30 minutes).
I applied online. I interviewed at AMD (Fort Collins, CO) in Aug 2017
Interview
Interviewer emailed me after one week. Total 3 rounds, first one with the manager and rest with team members. All of them asked various questions on DFT, as this is DFT intern role. Questions were on fundamentals. Interviewers also asked about resume and my projects, which were on DFT.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
1) What is the difference between functional testing and structural testing? Which one is
preferred?
2) Difference between a normal flop and scan flop?
3) How is boundary scan done?
4) Different types of faults in DFT? How to avoid them?
5) How to increase the fault coverage?
6) How is scan values passed in extest?
7) Write a script in Perl to change the values in the line.
8) Is structural scan denser or functional?
9) If we have don’t cares in the output of the scan, what is the problem and how is it solved?
10) What is scan compression?
11) Difference between transition delay and path delay?
12) Define SDD?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at AMD (Austin, TX) in Aug 2020
Interview
Applied through referrals (position is actually postdoc fellow in machine learning). Talked to the manager and then had a phone screen with a senior researcher. Answered all questions and they seemed interested, but they are way too slow and if you don't follow up, they won't get back to you at all. The senior researcher seemed nice but mentioned doesn't have enough experience in machine learning. I don't know what's the point of interviewing postdoc applicants in the machine learning area and wasting their time, if you can't even find an appropriate interviewer who has enough expertise!

Question 1
Basic ML and deep learning questions (regularization, different types of gradient descent and their drawbacks), etc.

Interview
The whole interview process was very smooth. The interviewer started off with the basics, with him delving deeper into the topic, every time you answer correctly. He helped me too when I got stuck, so I was able to answer most of the questions I didn't know the answers of with the hints he provided. He summed up the interview by connecting all the dots at the end, and this gave a much clearer picture of the work I am supposed to do during the intern.

Question 1
Questions on Electromigration, Thermal inversion, SCMOS, Pass transistor logic, and lots of grilling on Setup,hold (which specific corner, what is supposed to be checked), how to resolve them,etc.
