I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA)
Interview
It was a long process. The agency gave me a rate initially, and after the interview they offered 70% of the initial rate. I could negotiate to 76%. It was horrible. Careful with the Indian agency recruiters. The interview with the Qualcomm employees were ordinary.
Interview questions [1]

I got selected through online assessment in which there are negative points for wrong answers with three sections after getting selected to interview they are questions about digital electronics and some basic programming questions
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Sept 2019
Interview
These HRs have no respect at all. I was contacted by Junaid Ahmad, and was told someone will be contacting me to schedule an interview. Then they just disappeared and never replied my follow-up email.
