      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2012

      Interview

      As long as you have relevant experience in C/C++ and/or telecom domain, you should get a call. There is usually 1-2 telephonic interview rounds, followed by an onsite interview, where you can expect anywhere from 5-7 rounds of face-to-face interviews. In the telephonic round, they go over your resume and ask the projects you have done based on your resume. This should not be too hard. They may also ask some personality based questions, like how would you respond to a particular situation etc. In the onsite interview, they take all candidates to a HR building, where you'll be briefed about the entire interview process by a HR person. And then they would take you in a cab to the interviewer's office. There they'll ask you to answer technical questions on a white board. There might also be a Then, if all is well, you'll get a call from the HR informing you about the good news!

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Noida) in Dec 2025

      Interview

      They gave no idea about overall process. Just calling to scheduling rounds. No alignment discussions. Just kept on taking technical rounds without sharing any details of role. And post all rounds gave an offer way below my current compensation. Overall wasted my time & I would recommended anyone in my network to go with them. 4 technical rounds were there. Mostly general - DSA, sorting & searching algos, some hard leetcode, system design & resume deep dive.
