I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AMD (Austin, TX) in Mar 2025
Interview
30-45 mins: about my prior research and roles.
15-30 mins: questions about cache coherence, pointer chase, computer architecture.
Interviewer was very straight forward, nice and helpful and genuinely interested in my work. In the entire interview, it was at one point where I felt the interviewer wasn’t impressed by my research work (he said something along the lines of “oh that’s not writing the library driver”, but when he heard more information , he seemed interested)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What’s cache coherence? There were follow up questions on this but they escape me now.
The interview process was easy to schedule and go through. 2 interviews back to back. Rude interviewer who did not allow me to answer questions that he asked. Mostly a resume screening although he did not want to hear about my experience.
