The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2009
Interview
I had done my internship there and was called for an interview internally. I gave 3 interviews. I was surprised to get some same questions in different interviews, maybe because the different people interviewing do not know each other/check with each other. The process was smooth over all and I joined in January 2010.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was given a diagram on the white board and asked to "debug". And it was repeated from another interview of a different company.
It was on campus hiring. It consists of an online assessment and resume screening, followed by 3 rounds of interviews, out of which 2 were technical and 1 was HR.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Hsinchu)
Interview
The interview process spanned 4 days with one 1–2 hour session per day. Each round began with a 30-minute discussion on my college projects, followed by deep dives into Computer Architecture (CPU Design, Cache ＤDesign, etc.). One of the sessions also included a simple whiteboard coding question.

Question 1
Cache Design (calculating cache bits involves breaking down the CPU address into Tag, Index, and Offset field)
The interviewer was friendly and created a supportive atmosphere. They offered constructive hints when I got stuck, showing they were focused on my thought process, which made for a positive experience.
