I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm
Interview
After initial phone screening, a grueling day with interviews back-to-back followed. Some interviewers were not related to the position and asked questions unrelated to the required background. It would have been better to have fewer but to the point interviews. The focus was completely technical and a very limited view of the company culture and work environment was offered. On the other hand, I could sense very different personalities, which I should have understood not as a strength, but as a sign of a conflicted work environment. Basically, a Californian company which doesn't get Austin.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
The position was not for graphics development and neither is my background, but an interviewer insisted on probing on such algorithms and linear algebra, about which I know about only cursorily and recall only vaguely.
An interviewer whose background was similar to mine asked a question about a feature of an old processor architecture that I never worked on, but, seeing my difficulty, spent the time to explain it to me.
Interviewer joined late. He kept checking if he can find some one else also to talk to me, His questions were very simple basic ones and I answered them pretty well. I followed up HR, HR is coming back to me and it has been 4+ months.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Qualcomm in May 2025
Interview
3 technical rounds first one was to implement BST from scratch but in multiple stages. like those in codesignals without any autocomplete. 2nd round was also related to BST where you need to find rightmost left node. i dont remember third one.
The interviewing was quite smooth but the interview process, where we try to reach out to the HR for future communications was a hassle. I had to reach out for at least 2 weeks before I was presented with the next steps, and apparently the interviewing progress was also not updated. Apart from that I enjoyed meeting the team and discussing mutual goals.
