I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in May 2012
Interview
interview is very easy. no one at qualcomm has time to even breathe, let alone time to prepare what to ask in the interview. no one has used data structures or algorithms here for a long time so you can rest assured that you know better than them. just prepare algos and data structures anyways because those are the only questions they can ask right off the internet by skimming through just minutes before the interview.
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.
