J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Qualcomm en févr. 2012
Entretien
Basically they asked me what I did for my phd. I basically explained my current research and also some course projects. They also asked me some brain teaser questions. The problem is not that hard. Since the positions I was looking for is about doing computer vision, they also asked me some really basic stuffs about it.

pretty smooth, nothing harsh. They are pretty nice about you. But still need to prepare for domain knowledge because they may ask technical problems. Just be prepared and sleep enough.

Technical questions (not too difficult, pretty standard) and then we had an in-depth discussion of previous research projects (the interviewer had read my most recent paper). It lasted approx 45 mins.
