I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Qualcomm
Interview
Well, the whole recruiting was so weird. They came to our school for recruiting on Wednesday and later on Friday they said the position was filled. I understand that company would go to the events they committed to, but this is kind of a waste if time for both of us.
I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA)
Interview
First contacted by a manager, connected well with him. Then met with an adjacent FP&A director, who said I seem like a great fit. Met with HM and thought it went well.
Took an excel assessment. Timed 40 min. Honestly was kinda bs, got caught up on a question that required the “What-if” feature. Wording on the question about for was nonsense. Otherwise did everything perfectly.
Was ghosted, even after following up with the recruiter and HM.
