I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Jun 2013
Interview
there are 5 technical rounds. Since I was working as contractor, I knew what I was doing and anticipate interview questions. First couple of rounds were with the Techincal Leads, next 2 are with Managers, and 1 final round with Director. 4 rounds are very techincal, and the last round with director is more logical round.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Jun 2019
Interview
Started off with a telephonic interview which is pretty easy and then an on-site interview. Asked different questions about testing scenarios, tools, and mostly resume-based questions. Whiteboard coding in 3 out of 4 rounds. Interviewers were friendly but don't get your hopes high. Did not hear back from them so taking it as a reject because I think their way of rejecting candidates is ghosting them.
