Interview
The first stage was an online test of 3 sections- English, Coding and Tech(on the basis of profile you opted) . 23 students were shortlisted out of more than 150 students.
The selected students then had to go through a technical interview and an HR round
the tech round was based on the profile you opted for.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2008
Interview
I had previously been an intern for Qualcomm twice, once in a similar group to which I was later hired into, and once for a legal group that specialized in Discovery within the realm of litigation, so this interview was fairly easy for me. The person interviewing me gave me the option to join the team as either an intern or as a temp employee. I joined as a temp employee and was rolled over to permanent status 6 months later. I was particularly grateful, as I was still finishing my undergraduate degree at the time.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in May 2012
Interview
The interview is easier than most of other companies in the IT industry, esp. those software companies in the bay area. I've got just one engineer asking me technical question, such as the output of a specific set of code. Other interviewer are all at senior staff or principle or director level so they don't actually asked much technical staff except for those really simple "behavior" questions.
The company is hiring like crazy in this fiscal year, especially the graphics department.
