I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Qualcomm
Interview
Obtained an interview through campus recruiting. It consisted of an hour and a half phone interview which started out with going through the resume and then led to several technical questions as a follow-on. After this, there was a day long on-site interview, starting with a 1hr presentation to a team of 8 people, followed by 1-1 sessions with several engineers.

Interview
First I had phone interview which was primarily about what I know, one projects which I feel is challenging. It went for about 1 hour. After phone interview I had an on site interview after one month. There were 5 technical round each 45 mins, and one HR round. Technical rounds were mostly about timing, delay, setup & hold time. Since there were dealing with DDR memory controller interface with DDR memory, so they were mostly focusing on PVT variations and impact on timing.
