I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm in May 2009
Interview
Standard phone interview with questions on C, data structures and algos. Was very straightforward. Onsite interview was in San Diego, CA. There were 6 rounds of 1 on 1 interviews - mostly with very senior technical people who had very rigid and arrogant behabviour. Although the interview went pretty well, I was later informed that I was being considered for a temporary position instead of a full-time position - which was very unprofessional of them. I declined the offer.
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
