I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Jan 2013
Interview
Was contacted by the HR during the 3rd week of december asking for an interview schedule. Scheduled it for Jan 7th 2013. Had 2 rounds of interviews; both went well. Completely a software based position even though I'm from an EE background with nothing but a project on AI from my undergrad(and hence the call from this team). I could answer most of the programming questions(interviewers were straight-forward in it). The usual suspects turned up - Virtual, strings, hashing etc. Both interviewers started with the Resume, then to software and coding straight away.
I was asked if I was ready to take up a position on Android development(For which they wanted people). I mildly had doubts there and maybe that impacted my overall interview.
