The process took 2 days. I interviewed at AMD (Sunnyvale, CA) in Dec 2011
Interview
The interview was for the position of Co-op engineer for the Spring semester. I had submitted my resume to University Relations long back and seeing a match for my academic projects with the job requirement, the Hiring Manager called me first and took phone interview. It was a perfect match for my projects and the work that I would have to do at AMD. So he was pretty much convinced and told me an other senior engineer would take me interview. There was time constraints so this happened 2 days later and the senior engineer asked mostly technical questions from C++, Verilog, Computer Architecture, Algorithms and also told me to explain the Academic projects in detail. The interview lasted an hour. I think they were impressed by me, So I got the offer by the next day.

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 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.
