I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Cork)
Interview
HR & Technical, pretty standard. There was a few coding questions, and the interviewer was helpful and they were trying to help clarify the questions. HR was helpful and made a lot of customizations for me
2 rounds with both technical and focusing on computer architecture and performance. risc related questions and how to improve the performance on superscalar computers. the interviewer did not expect full answer but expected to know the basics about superscalar

Question 1
superscalar architecture and risc architecture. how to improve performance
