I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Process started with a phone screen and the interviewer just went over my resume. I was questioned on my previous work experience and C language. Satisfied with phone screen i was called up on-site for interview. On-site travel was booked by one of their agents and i just spent money for local transportation which was later re-funded.
On-site started with a HR who went over the role, job description, benefits and collected info like salary expectation etc. Later on i was interviewed by 2 developers who mainly focused on sorting and searching techniques in C. Followed by them were a couple of directors who were focused on behavioral analysis and aptitude for debugging issues.
Offer was extended after 5 days from the date of interview.
