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.
