I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview process consists of at least 1 screening with HR, 1 interview with a team member who will ask general questions about your resume and team requirements... he will filter the candidates and usually will not ask for any complex coding, 1 last interview round that will last a whole day with many of the team members (If you made it this far you are very close to being hired). The whole day interview round might include at least 3 interviews with people with seniority levels usually bigger than yours, the interviews can be technical, non technical, coding, no coding, system design... it all depends on the team.

I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Farnborough, London, England) in Jun 2026
Interview
Three weeks after applying, I was invited to a 30-minute screening interview for this Friday. However, only 20 minutes before the scheduled start time, they requested to reschedule to Monday. Given that I had already rearranged my day to accommodate the original meeting, I chose to withdraw my application out of respect for my own time.
I approach interviews spontaneously, focusing on genuine technical discussions rather than memorized answers. I share real experiences from my embedded software projects, discussing complex issues with sensor integration very naturally.
