The company operates across research, chip design, software, and go-to-market functions globally.

Locations and presence

AMD is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, with major hubs including Austin (Texas), Markham (Canada), and large engineering footprints across Asia-Pacific, including India. AMD runs a mix of on-site, hybrid, and remote patterns depending on role and site, with employee-reported examples of hybrid schedules such as three days in-office.

Palpable Score

76.2

/ 100

AMD is a strong early-career target for students and recent graduates because AMD runs recurring internships and co-ops across regions, and AMD also posts “New College Graduate” roles rather than relying only on experienced hiring. The score is capped by uneven public transparency: AMD’s detailed job listing content is not consistently accessible without applying through the careers system, which limits what candidates can verify up front about stages, timelines, and pay across roles.
