I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Mar 2010
Interview
Initially had a phone interview, which consisted basic questions on algorithms, C/C++, some puzzles.
After a week 1:1 interview consisted of 4 technical and 1 with hiring manager. The technical consisted
of the same stuff of above average level. Qualcomm asks a lot on bit manipulation in C.
The interviews went well but did not receive any offer, reason given was hiring freeze.
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.
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
