Test Engineer Multimedia at QUALCOMM

3.0
Average Interview
Overall Negative Experience Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Oct 2009 in San Diego, CA (took a day)

The interviewer was quite rude. He first asked me how I would fit in for this position. Then he asked me if I knew C/C++, asked a few questions too on pointers and references.
He then asked me to write a code (using pointers) to reverse a string using a single array and ping him once done. I used swapping logic with a for() loop. He was happy for the first time!
He then threw some testing questions, how would you test a CD rom etc....He did not encourage me while I was trying to answer...Then all of a sudden he said thank you, any questions.
He seemed as if he was forced at it and completely disinterested in hiring anybody.
Overall the interview was very demoralizing and I took 2 days to get out of it. Phew!
