Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
I was asked a lot of low level questions in C on memory allocation concepts, Scheduling, etc. Some of the questions were pretty low level. I wasn't prepared for such low level questions ( compilers, memory segments, blah blah).

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took a day)
I applied to this company through indeed.com. After a few days I got an email from Qualcomm to schedule an telephone interview. After scheduling the time, I got a call on that day. He asked questions like
1. Tell me about tyourself
2. Lot of questions about my resume
3. Questions on C language like tell about volatile, switch, struct vs uinion, recursive function, static vs const, register and regarding stuff.
4. He gave me a program and asked me to tell the output it was simple .
5. He asked to me write a C function to find number of repeating letters in a given word.
I did program parts well, but failed to answer some of the basic questions in C. He will be testing our logical thinking and reasoning ability. If you answer one question he will go deep in to that otherwise he will leave it. Prepare well for the questions with resume, C and Programming skills.
All the best guys...

Interviewed Jun 2011 in San Diego, CA (took 3 weeks)
Phone interview was mainly about my resume, since I'm a new graduate. Since I did OK on that, I'm invited to San Diego for an on-site. 5 staff engineer and 1 HR are in my panel. All the questions are technical, related to the position I'm applying.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in San Diego, CA (took 2 months)
I applied online and got a phone interview which consisted of basic OS and data structure questions. Was called for an on-site interview after that. Onsite interview was 6 technical interviews. Questions from C, data structures, OS, bit manipulation etc. The whole interview process took an inordinate amount of time and I had to wait nearly a month after the interview to learn the final result.

Submitted my resume online applying for a specific software engineering position from the company's vacant positions list. Received an email about a week later for a phone interview.
The technical phone interview lasted around 30 to 40 minutes, where questions were related to OOP (polymorphism, encapsulation), threads and processes, and some questions about some projects from my resume.
