I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Bridgewater, NJ) in May 2024
Interview
One of the most vague interview processes. Interviewed for a role related to autonomous driving. The HR sent an email to schedule the interview. The interview was scheduled with a Technical member working in a different team. I had zero idea of what to expect during the interview. Despite sending two emails to HR on what to expect no reply. So I went to the interview with wide expectations. The interview was more on some basis and nothing related to the role. I was informed two days later that they were not proceeding further.
It was a 5-step interview. Four of them were technical and the last one was with HR. The first two interviews were conducted with the Ireland team. The interviewers were great guys. They checked my basic C language and software design knowledge in those interviews. The last two interviews were conducted with US-based engineering managers. They asked both behavioral and technical questions, as well as a coding question in the last part of the interview. I suggest doing some practice on LeetCode before taking the interviews.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Noida) in Dec 2025
Interview
They gave no idea about overall process. Just calling to scheduling rounds. No alignment discussions. Just kept on taking technical rounds without sharing any details of role. And post all rounds gave an offer way below my current compensation. Overall wasted my time & I would recommended anyone in my network to go with them.
4 technical rounds were there. Mostly general - DSA, sorting & searching algos, some hard leetcode, system design & resume deep dive.
