I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Jun 2009
Interview
Overall, everybody seemed very nice. No overly technical questions were asked but generally about why I was interested in working for the company. They asked about classes I had taken and what I thought I would be doing in the future.
My interview experience: The two online interview rounds focused entirely on my resume, spanning from fundamental concepts to advanced technical topics. Both sessions were comprehensive assessments of my background and expertise.
Phone screen - hiring manager was asking about my immigration status, and tone changed immediately. Almost felt unprofessional and discriminatory, I will remember it for a long time to come.
