I applied to qualcomm government or i think they're called qualcomm cybersecurity solutions. The new grad offer was 100k base, 22.5k stock over 3 years, 10k relocation, and 15k signing. Choices were San Diego and Boulder,CO.
I did an inital phone interview where I was asked general tech questions (no ds&a). Then I had an onsite in San Diego where i met with the hiring manager, then 4 managers or employees. This interview was very behavorial. It seems like python is a must know well for this. Very easy interview.
Initial screening had a short coding test as well as discussion. Then I had 3 technical interviews from different areas of expertise. Did not get to the HR round.
There was no show on one interview. The scheduler did not respond to any of my emails but suddenly rescheduled after a week. It looks like the interviewer cannot contact interviewees without joining the call first.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
OS, embedded systems, data structures, testing exercises
Fairly simple. Asking about previous experiences and familiarity with different computing languages. Level of difficulty for the coding interview is medium and easy in lc. But does require you to understand some knowledge on operating systems.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
Initial screening question: 45 minute algorithm, final round with 5 people - 4 technical, 1 HR. Everyone except the HR was rude, they were all Indians. Very mean spirited interview
