I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA)
Interview
Skipped the telephonic since I had a reference within the company.
Interviewed with the San Diego team. Had interviews lined up all day from 10.30 am until 5 pm, with a friendly lunch in the middle.
Completely technical, spoke on different protocols, low power techniques, C programming for embedded, and building a verification environment. Overall all interviewers asked pointed, relevant and good questions, without the slightest hint of condescension. This was among the longest interviews I've had in my career and also among the most professional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Spoke about some post silicon validation. Haven't had much experience working in the lab so it didn't matter.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
The interview was for the entry level digital design profile and it was overall a good experience. The questions were of a fairly high level and technical, so a good revision of the courses I had taken back in college was essential to crack it. Consisted of multiple rounds and tested knowledge in all areas of vlsi and digital design.
