I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AMD (Hamilton, ON) in Nov 2019
Interview
2 Parts, Half an hour each. The first part asked me a simple problem-solving/logic question, followed by a sheet of 6 questions where you write your solutions down in C (no fancy libraries). Last they gave me a top-down view of a motherboard and asked me to label all the ports/connectors. The second part was a lot more easy-going and was mostly behavioural questions with some C questions (what is a pointer, interrupts, linked lists) and asked me about side projects.

Write a C program to find if a computer is big endian or little endian
Interview was great, HR did screening questions followed by interview process 2 weeks later. Technical questions were simple but dives deep into who the candidate is and how they function.

Question 1
Describe me a time where you faced issues within a code and how did you solve it?
The interview process was smooth and had three rounds: an initial screening, two technical assessments (including algorithms/puzzles/problem-solving and DSA questions), and in-depth behavioral interviews that discussed my research project in depth.
