HR will call and schedule, start of the interview itself you will be confused since you can't see interviewer, looks like Qualcomm policy. in fact I gave interviews to other corporate major semicons, didn't faced like this much. in fact due to this worst discussions in fact I was little disturbed and missed better chances.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
basic C questions, and they have very standard it seems delete linked list, add an element to bst, semaphore vs mutex etc., sometimes some domain specific or some protocol related. once I had 3 hr round with one of the team and I almost aced it but after I didn't hear anything. I felt interviewers are in much hurry and conclude just like that, sometimes I encountered narrow minded people.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Hyderābād) in Mar 2010
Interview
First round of technical interview followed by three rounds of onsite technical interview followed by HR round. Technical rounds are quite grilling for full time hires. When it comes to part time hires, the interview is more dependent on the team that you are giving the interview for. For test roles the interview process isn't much grilling.
