I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Dec 2016
Interview
First, if you are selected for as a contender, there is a phone interview with a staff member. The next and final round interview was with two group panels. The first interview was a panel of recent interns/ newly hired staff. The second interview was a group panel of the department managers. They each asked questions about prior experiences, whether those were school related or extracurricular activities.
My interview experience: The two online interview rounds focused entirely on my resume, spanning from fundamental concepts to advanced technical topics. Both sessions were comprehensive assessments of my background and expertise.
Phone screen - hiring manager was asking about my immigration status, and tone changed immediately. Almost felt unprofessional and discriminatory, I will remember it for a long time to come.
