I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Bridgewater, NJ) in Dec 2013
Interview
I got an email from the HR about my shortlisting and She asked me to schedule 2 technical interviews in December 2013. The first interview was basically what was there on my resume. The Interviewer asked general stuff about LTE/ UMTS call flow, Handoff scenarios and O&M and about the 3G/4G gateway product.
He asked me about my previous experience and few questions on that. Then a brief discussion on my courses. Overall it was an interactive and decent interview. Not very challenging.

Interview
I applied online since my school is not one of their main targeted ones. I got an email to interview within a week - probably due to having another brand name company on my resume.
I had two phone interviews. Both technical, one more slightly relaxed and behavioral than the other, but still technical.
I had looked at glassdoor's questions an hour before the interview and was lucky enough to have THE EXACT SAME questions asked. Got the job thanks to you guys!!
