I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA)
Interview
First contacted by a manager, connected well with him. Then met with an adjacent FP&A director, who said I seem like a great fit. Met with HM and thought it went well.
Took an excel assessment. Timed 40 min. Honestly was kinda bs, got caught up on a question that required the “What-if” feature. Wording on the question about for was nonsense. Otherwise did everything perfectly.
Was ghosted, even after following up with the recruiter and HM.

I applied through other source. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2024
Interview
The process included the following steps:
An interview with HR - general questions about resume, and long term goals
An interview with Senior Financial analyst - very friendly interview, they are just trying to get to know you
An excel test - 1 hour test. It includes formulas, filtering, graphs, and pivot tables .
And 3 round interviews (on site) - each interview was 45 mins with 3 different senior managers / directors. They want to see that you understand what the company do.
