AMD Software Engineer I interview questions

The interview was a conversational style. Because a lot of jobs at AMD require specific skills, the manager and the panel really just want to get to know you more and discuss your previous experience.

This was as boring and mediocre as they come, I had expected much more from an iconic corporation -- After the typical upload-your-resume-to-our-outdated-cms I got a call from a recruiter and scheduled an interview in Markham The interviewer was a 20+year veteran of the company along with someone whom I can only describe as his lackey; they were shamelessly underprepared for any sort of meaningful engagement and didn't even seem to be aware that a candidate was in the office based on their demeanour The primary fellow, a 20+year veteran with a list of accolades as long as Jack Kerouac's manuscript was wearing a grey t-shirt and jeans and was the very face of festering suburban corporate entitlement, to such an extent that he was totally oblivious and thought he was actually being approachable I had prepared to the best of my abilities and dressed professionally; they couldn't even return the courtesy of following customary interview protocol -- of course I know it's cliché in the software industry by now and it's a complete joke but I wonder to this day: did he show up to his own interview all those years ago wearing a grey T-shirt? -- I somehow don't believe it, but here's a pseudocode implementation of my internal logic if(he did) { his standards haven't risen in 20+ years; } else if (he didn't) { his standards have slipped over 20+ years; } => either way: entitled and blindly, shamelessly so I rejected them during this interview, outright. The last thing I wanted was to spend any portion of my career working for this gray man in his gray world lest the entitlement rub off on me too, by association
