      Software Engineer Interview

      Jun 2, 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Hyderabad
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Hyderabad) in Aug 2011

      Interview

      We had a online exam which has 3 sections Quant,C skills and Technical section.Quant consists of 20 questions which should be solved in 20 mins.In C Skills section you will be having 15 questions which should be solved in 30 mins.These questions will take too much tym.Every question has atleast 3 FOR loops and atleast 3 variables which are updated in each loop and the question will be to find the value of any of the variable after the execution of all loops.On seeing those questions any one will feel like why the hell i am here but we have to crack them to get into Qualcomm. :) Coming to the technical section you will be given 15 questions which should be answered in 20 mins.These questions mainly test your theoritical knowledge..Qualcomm comes with 3 profiles Software,Communications,Design. As i have written for Software profile i got questions mainly on Operating Systems..ECE its better to learn some more concepts rather than sticking to those which are thaught to you,i think its better to say which in ur syllabus.. PERSONAL INTERVIEW (TECHNICAL) As all interviewers the one who interviewed me is also very cool and friendly.Checked my resume from top to bottom and then said that i have good track record.As i have kept al the projects,interns and workshops i have atteneded and even i have kept the details of the 2 IEEE papers i have..So ppl who have published papers can thoughtlessly keep them in their resume for Qualcomm..I think the interviewer was very much impressed with my resume itself.he asked about my fav subject and i said DS and oops.. 1)So he asked me to tell the algo of finding the kth largest number from the array with N numbers..i said that i will use a max heap and he asked me why only max heap and why not other then i said the advantages of it and he accepted.. 2)He then asked me how will the find the missing number in array having N numbers..I said the obvious answer with N time complexity and said ok. 3)then he asked me about my papers and i explained them. Then i was passed to next round.which is also not that tough..Even this guy checked my resume as his father's will and then asked me to introduce myself and then asked me to 1)Write the code for String reversal 2)Code for reversing 2 nodes in Likned list if a pointer to only the first node among them was given..it seems to be simple but there is a problem in that u dont have the pointer to the node prev to the first node which is required.So i asked whether that pointer is provided or not.As his intention is not to miss it..he thought for some tym and said good question and said you know that pointr and i have written the simple code for reversal and said the algo how to reverse them even if the prev node pntr is not given. After this he asked me about my internship and papers and asked for much more detailed explaination and i did.. Thats all for 2nd round.. PERSONAL INTERVIEW (HR) The interviewer for this round is she..She wished me as i entered the room and introduce herself and the first question is have you done any intern.I said yes and she asked me to tell about myself and about my papers and projects..Even she asked about the extra cults i have mentioned in my resume like my blog,short films etc..and then asked me if i want to know anything about QualComm for which i was waiting and fired few questions...It was 1 in the midnight when my interviews are over..and i am confident enough that i will be selected and waited for the result till 1 30 and yes i was.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      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 interviewed at Qualcomm (Hyderabad)

      Interview

      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.
