I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA)
Interview
I applied online and was contacted within a few days for a phone interview. After the phone interview, we set up an on-site interview. The process itself was very fast, but the HR person did not respond to my emails or even email me to let me know the outcome. Several times, I had to reach out first for any response.
The on-site interview is very tiring, 4 purely technical interviews with only a lunch interview in the middle. Would have been nice to have a break in between. Overall my opinion is the company is very corporate and working there I would have been another cog in the machine.
