Interview
1. Received an email from HR
2. The HackerRank test consisted of five questions - two were easy, two were of medium difficulty, and one was hard.
3. Invited to an interview with the tech lead
I recently had an interview with Qualcomm, and unfortunately, I had a very negative experience. Here's a breakdown of what happened:
HR and the technical lead didn't seem prepared for the interview. To make matters worse, they didn't seem to have reviewed my up-to-date resume and instead referred to an older version. This lack of preparation made me feel undervalued as a candidate.
To add to the disappointment, the technical test that I was given felt like a waste of my time. Given the lack of preparation and the short interview, it was clear that the test didn't have much of an impact on the final decision.
Overall, my experience with Qualcomm's interview process was frustrating and disappointing. As a candidate, I felt that my time and efforts were not valued. I hope that the company takes this feedback seriously and makes improvements to their interview process in the future.

Interview
Questions about previous experiences and whiteboard coding questions involving C++. The role was for a GPU engineer so the questions were based around CUDA and familiarity with parallel programming. It was supposed to be a video conference, but there were a lot of difficulties with sharing screen.
I interviewed for Qualcomm. The interview went well with all good questions, easily answerable. The person taking interview was very positive and was very interested in hiring me. The second round was supposed to happed ASAP, But there was no response after that. There was no response from the hiring team even after multiple reach outs. Qualcomm had been one of the companies that I always wanted to work for. But the interview process is very discouraging to apply further.
