Interview
Irrelevant to work. They test your Problem solving Ability which is useless for kind of work you do in qualcomm. From campus getting into qualcomm is bit difficult but getting into qualcomm from other companies is bit easy. Here in hyderabad managers prefer andra people than north indians even if the person is not so talented.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Jose, CA) in Sep 2013
Interview
The interview took about 40 minutes. It was kind of enjoyable. The hiring manager first asked me about my previous experience and He actually let me talk. He didn't interrupt me with any kind of question. Then he formulated specials scenarios and what would I do in those situations. For example, what could go wrong or why the software could stop working if the system where the software is running is updated to a faster system? Finally he asked me how to multiply two 64bit integers with a 32 bit only microprocessor.
