I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AMD (Bengaluru) in Nov 2016
Interview
It was total 6 rounds of Interview, starting with SystemVerilog, UVM, projects, analytical,SOC level. did not find it much difficult.
analytical questions were tricky, but enough time was given to answer each.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
UVM question : Assuming, UVM environment has 3 different agents having scope to their own interfaces.
On driving wrong stimuli on agent1, there will be error pin asserted on interface3(monitor of agent2 sees this).
soon after error-pin assertion, there should be a read transaction from agent2.
How do you make sure your agent2 drives a read transaction on every wrong stimulus from agent1, which was seen on a monitor of agent2 ?
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at AMD
Interview
2 interviewers. Both were friendly and provided support on tricky questions asking about content that is not taught in the classroom. Interviewers did not expect the candidate to have extensive knowledge of video/graphics/drivers - did a lot of explaining in the actual interview itself. Overall, the interview was a good experience and was completely fair.

Interviewer was extremely friendly and nice. Asked a few questions about resume and then moved on to technical questions - did not ask for ridiculous detail on the resume projects since he understood the amount of time that had passed since they were done.
