J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris plus d'une semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Qualcomm en juin 2012
Entretien
I received an invitation to apply for this position from a QC recruiter. I thought that QC had a lack of qualified engineers and tried to get them from other companies. But I was wrong. I applied for this position and an interview coordinator contacted me to setup the interview. But when I tried to refresh my info about the position before the interview I found that the position was closed. I am not stupid and understand that a closed position means that a proper candidate already found. But why did QC perform a comedy with the interview? More honest would be to inform me about closing the position without wasting my time.
About the interview. It took about 45 min. The interviewer was polite. He told me about his group. After that we discussed coexistence of LTE and Wi-Fi and after that he asked me several questions about C language.
1. How to convert FFC from hex to decimal?
2. What value of sizeof of structure containing char c and uint16 i?
3. static variable
4. volatile
5. How stack is changed when a function is called?
It was a 5-step interview. Four of them were technical and the last one was with HR. The first two interviews were conducted with the Ireland team. The interviewers were great guys. They checked my basic C language and software design knowledge in those interviews. The last two interviews were conducted with US-based engineering managers. They asked both behavioral and technical questions, as well as a coding question in the last part of the interview. I suggest doing some practice on LeetCode before taking the interviews.

They gave no idea about overall process. Just calling to scheduling rounds. No alignment discussions. Just kept on taking technical rounds without sharing any details of role. And post all rounds gave an offer way below my current compensation. Overall wasted my time & I would recommended anyone in my network to go with them.
4 technical rounds were there. Mostly general - DSA, sorting & searching algos, some hard leetcode, system design & resume deep dive.
