I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Mar 2009
Interview
Contact by the HR for the phone interview in email. Then confirm the interview time about a week later. The interview last about 15mins. Only one person interviewed me and all technical questions. The interviewer starts with my resume and asked some related questions. So if possible, try to be familiar with your resume.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical questions: how do you do power allocation in MIMO systems?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
The interviews well organized. I was called by two different people from the company and both of them provided an in-depth explanation of the nature of the job. Also there was a basic walkthrough of my resume (including my extra-curricular activities). Overall I have to say that the interview was not difficult at all, not sure on what basis they reached at the final decision.
