The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2008
Interview
The hiring manager gone through a 45 minute technical interview. They try to understand your background, work experience, and finally technical question in your area. After a successful phone interview, they flew me for onsite interview, where you meet with different engineer. the schedule was tight, and they only have time to ask 30-45minutes. The interview was very technical, going over aspect of firmware development, debugging, implementing c code, and some problem solving question. The problem solving questions are easy if you are just out of school, but it would be difficult for old-timer because you have to remember geometry/Trigometry.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Boulder, CO) in Feb 2024
Interview
I had applied through Qualcomm's job portal and then a team member reached out to me.
After asking if I was still interested he got me in touch with an HR to schedule the initial interview. It was pretty quick.
First round consisted of resume review and basic C questions such as bit manipulation and pointers.

I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Tel Aviv) in Sep 2022
Interview
After being informed about an upcoming salary offer, I received a call from another team leader (in the same group in Qualcomm) who requested that I meet with him for an additional interview. Confused by the sudden change, I decided to contact the hiring manager to inquire about the situation. To my surprise, the team leader who had initially contacted me reprimanded me for "circumventing authority." What was supposed to be a face-to-face interview turned into a bewildering and disheartening scolding session. Ultimately, despite being assured that it was merely a step to determine the specific team placement, I did not receive the promised job offer.
Later when I tried to call again to the hiring manager (who promissed that anyway I'll recieve salary offer) - he ignored my calls
