I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AMD (Hyderabad) in May 2016
Interview
There were 4 one-on-one rounds each of around 50 minutes duration.
All are technical based and there was no HR round. You have to be very much clear about your resume, as they ask more about previous projects.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AMD (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2014
Interview
The interview process was pretty straightforward, phone screening followed by on-site. There were several technical questions with not much emphasis on anything else. The interviewer seemed to be very knowledgeable and was helpful. There was time at the start and end to discuss prior work experience and questions regarding the position.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AMD (Bengaluru) in Aug 2014
Interview
There were three rounds. I cleared first two rounds. Third round was with manager, and it was a brainstorming round. They can ask you about anything. And the question is not, what you did. But, why you did that. Means if you have a chosen a path A, then what all paths you considered, pros and cons of each path, how did you finally arrive at path A. And how sure you are, that path A was the best. It was a good experience overall.
