I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Boulder, CO) in Aug 2012
Interview
I was contacted by Qualcomm HR through LinkedIn due to my relevant background experience. I was invited to interview with their team to "perhaps find a job which is a good fit for me", i.e. I never applied for a specific job, but they thought I might be a good fit for something they were looking to fill. Since this was the case, the interviews were a little ambiguous because there was really no specific posiiton associated with the interviews. Aas such, the questions were kept somewhat general, and also I was not able to get many of my questions about the company or the position answered.
1. Phone screening and email correspondence to set up on-site interview.
2. Two person on-site interview. Very technical.
3. Five person on-site interview. Very technical.

Question 1
What's difficult thing you do in certain projects? How do you handle it? Do you have cross-functional experience? Give an example.
they call you and ask you the your availability and typical interview goes for 3 hours if they are interested. They ask C questions and your project related questions. At last a manager comes and takes your interview.
I had 1 screening round with 4 onsite rounds . All the rounds focuses on basic C concepts and additional concepts specific to role. Prepare behavioural questions related to your past work experience
