It was hard, mostly for a Hardware role but JD mentioned architecture team—two rounds of interviews scheduled at once. The decision came within a week after interview. It was an automated email from the workday system.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Pune) in Jan 2024
Interview
The interview process involved two rounds: coding and domain-specific. With good preparation, it's manageable and straightforward to crack. The coding round tests your problem-solving skills, while the domain-specific round assesses your expertise in the field. Overall, a positive and rewarding experience that boosts confidence and provides valuable insights
I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Cork)
Interview
First I had an ice breaker interview, where interviewers asked me basic questions like background and an easy coding problem. Then I had a technical interview where the whole interview revolved around codeing. Then my 3rd and 4th interviews were scheduled together which consisted of discussion with managers, behavioural questions and a coding exercise.
