The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Nov 2010
Interview
It was a very pleasant no stress interview.
It was basically only over the content of the resume and past experiences as well as problem solving skills.
Overall the staff and different interview procedures worked out really well. For candidates who are offered an onsite interview, be sure to study the company corporate culture, get information on your department which you plan to be hired for and be sure to discuss your resume and history in detail. This are the main areas you should be focusing in to get the best possible results for the interview.
Also, please note their philanthropic culture in local communities and throughout the world to discuss on the interview.
