I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Hyderabad) in Jun 2012
Interview
Interview process comprised of 3-4 interviews.
First interview was basic filtering, to check whether to call for F2F interview or not.
Asked few simple basic questions.
First F2F interview was easy too. Interviewers were looking for practical experience and asking questions which comes across daily development jobs. If a person just has some theoretical experience, the question can easily catch them.
Second round was technical manager round. it included questions around designing and architecture. They try to check how will you tackle some challenging scenarios. They may ask some design pattern questions and performance best practices.
Third round was taken by an San Diego Manager. It was also a technical round but comparatively more tougher than previous two.
