I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2011

Interview

I just got the Telephonic Interview for Qualcomm CDMA - Software System and Test division. It was not specific for any position (General Entry Level Interview). from my background it was for Wireless System Test Engineer position. Telephonic Interview consisted two rounds (HR+Technical) on same day. HR interview was pretty easygoing. HR explained about the hiring process, Salary and other company stuff and asked general HR questions. Interview was quite ok and now will wait for their response for in-person interview call.

Average interview

Application

The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Santa Clara, CA) in Feb 2011

Interview

I was referred after attending a talk and asking the speaker for open positions. The speaker forwarded my resume to the BARD team in Santa Clara. A phone interview was set up quickly after that. The phone interview was only about my research - what my PhD dissertation is about, how long it took me to implement some features, how much code I had to write. No additional technical questions.
