I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2010
Interview
Applied online and was contacted by a staffing coordinator. The interviewer was good and encouraging. Asked Qs in c++, c and some concepts from networking and some previous project related Qs from resume. There were 3 to 4 Qs for which algorithm or verbal solution was expected:
1] reversing a string
2] multiply a number with 7 without using * or + operators
3] finding a loop at the end of single linked list
the experience was good and waiting for the result...
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
C++ Qs : virtual functions and function overloading
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
