I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at AMD in Jul 2010
Interview
A one-hour phone interview with HR. They asked me questions to make sure my experience matched my resume, and also to make sure I wasn't gonna embarrass them in the longer interviews.
I passed the HR interview, so they schedule an on-site interview with me.
My interviews started at 11 a.m. First interview was with someone else from HR. She explained the process, and asked a few more questions to ensure I was gonna be worth sending onto the first group.
