I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Arlington, TX) in May 2011
Interview
I got Email to schedule my interview with qualcomm. I scheduled it and it directly started with technical questions.
Questions were based on my projects in resume:
1> verilog
2> pipelining concepts
3> hardware for pipelining
4> C programming: Link list, Hash map.
My interview experience: The two online interview rounds focused entirely on my resume, spanning from fundamental concepts to advanced technical topics. Both sessions were comprehensive assessments of my background and expertise.
Phone screen - hiring manager was asking about my immigration status, and tone changed immediately. Almost felt unprofessional and discriminatory, I will remember it for a long time to come.
