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.
