I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at AMD (Austin, TX) in Jun 2012
Interview
Long, 6 weeks, several phone interviews and then 2 day face to face in Austin, interviewed with people from several different organizations and questioned on several fronts. This of course back in the late 90's and I am sure lots of things have changed now as no one I worked with back then is still around anymore.
