I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Aug 2017
Interview
2 Phone Screen Interviews. Both screens went well, in my opinion. Questions were generally Why Qualcomm, why finance, and then interviewers broke down description of job to the day-to-day and expectations.
But after the second phone screen? silence for over 2 weeks! I decided to email one of the interviewers to ask whether or not I am still being considered and was informed at that time that the position has been filled and that they were no longer taking applications.
It would have been nice to have been informed earlier. Also, wasn't given any feedback but again my general takeaway was that it the interviewers were interested and happy with my responses.
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.
