      Software Engineer Interview

      Feb 17, 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Oct 2011

      Interview

      They emailed me saying they wanted to interview, and would email me in the future with a date and time and location. I basically got about 3 days notice for the interview. When I got there, he told me a little about what the internship would be like, then looked over my resume. He saw that I had Java and C++ listed. I told him immediately I had just a little experience in C++ but since I had used it before I could pick it up really fast, and that's why it was on there, but I had lots of experience with Java. He asked about some of the things that stood out on my resume, but didn't really seem to care and was kind of rude about it actually. Then he asked me technical questions, about C++, even though I told him I was good at Java. I'd figure he'd try to get a feel for what I actually knew instead of what he already knew I didn't. Lots of memory questions and things I told him I had no idea about beforehand. Then I asked him some questions about his work at Qualcomm and what he thought of it etc, to try to get him to warm up to me. But it didn't really work, and the next day I got the email saying I wasn't the right match. Overall it was a pretty awful experience and the interviewer was a jerk who didn't give me a chance at all.

      Question 2

      If you try to copy data from one location to the other, how can you ensure that you won't overwrite the original location if the address overlap? Change the function you wrote earlier to ensure that.

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Farnborough, London, England) in Jun 2026

      Interview

      Three weeks after applying, I was invited to a 30-minute screening interview for this Friday. However, only 20 minutes before the scheduled start time, they requested to reschedule to Monday. Given that I had already rearranged my day to accommodate the original meeting, I chose to withdraw my application out of respect for my own time.

      I approach interviews spontaneously, focusing on genuine technical discussions rather than memorized answers. I share real experiences from my embedded software projects, discussing complex issues with sensor integration very naturally.
