I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
I was contacted for a phone interview and after almost a month was contacted for an on-site interview which comprised of 7 interviews - one with HR and 6 others with technical team members. The scheduling was pretty easy. Most questions were based on basics of programming and resume. Asked about previous work experience. Very software and RTOS oriented interviews. Asked to write C programs and solve some questions for optimizing code.
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.
It will be 3 round interview process with 2 round technical and 3 will be managerial round .
In Technical round it would be DSA : LinkList, Bit manupulation mostly
They would ask regarding oops concept .They will also ask regarding question mentioned in resume . It would be interactive .
In managerial round you could be asked about work related stuf and salary expectation
