I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm
Interview
Quick phone interview, followed by an all-day interview where 5 employees on your prospective team come in and ask you about your work experience, tech questions, coding challenges, etc.
However, they didn't do the best job coordinating with each other. I got asked the same questions over and over again with each new team member.
Your basic old-school crappy "sit-you-down-in-a-room-and-get-you-to-reverse-a-linked-list" type interview. I would've expected a tech company to be a little more cutting edge. All the other cool kids are doing other stuff like having you present personal code projects, going through a live debugging session with them, or completing offline design projects.
It is first round with HM. HM digging deep on my resume bullets. HM mainly asked behavioral questions for each bullets. Overall experience is great. We had great conversations. one pseudo coding on parallel programming.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Noida) in Dec 2025
Interview
They gave no idea about overall process. Just calling to scheduling rounds. No alignment discussions. Just kept on taking technical rounds without sharing any details of role. And post all rounds gave an offer way below my current compensation. Overall wasted my time & I would recommended anyone in my network to go with them.
4 technical rounds were there. Mostly general - DSA, sorting & searching algos, some hard leetcode, system design & resume deep dive.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Sorting & searching algos, Hard leetcode, resume deep dive
I got the referral from employee and my resume shortlisted. There is a hacker rank test and followed by three interviews and hr discussion.
Process was smooth and all my interviews are done in one day.
