Interviewed Sep 2010 in San Diego, CA (took a day)
Initial communication and interview planning were good, although QUALCOMM took weeks to contact me. The interview was all day, mostly technical, with 5 different Engineers. Most interview questions were appropriate for the position applied = ATE Test Engineer. Personal advice to others: A lot of questions came from the resumee.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 weeks)
The culture seems super chill. I got 2 phone interviews with HR reps, and they said if they wanted to move on I would get an interview with an engineer. This didn't happen. My phone interviews had barely any technical questions, and I would have loved to do some to show my worth.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in San Diego, CA (took 2 weeks)
2 phone interviews. Person apologized for not having a chance to look at my resume before hand because he was busy. Asked me a bunch of questions on hardware and things irrelevant for what I was applying to, then dumbed down the questions significantly to the point I was being treated like a child. 2nd interviewer was far more standard with traditional interview questions more in line with software engineering interview.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in San Diego, CA (took a day)
I had a prior internship with Qualcomm. Within 2 months of the end of my internship, Qualcomm notified me that I was selected for a full-time hire. They performed a background check (no drug test) and let my previous experience speak for itself. To my knowledge, Qualcomm is great at rolling over interns. They trust in their initial recruitment and ask the majority of their interns to come back as long as their exit interview was satisfactory.
The exit interview at the end of the internship is a discussion with your manager. They provide feedback on your performance and you have the chance to ask any questions, similar to a one-on-one.
