Average interview

Application

I interviewed at Qualcomm

Interview

The interviewer is rude and blunt and arrogant, trying to poke holes in my resume. Some questions about the 5-stages CPU pipeline and memory barriers. In the job description, it says CPU/GPU/DSP engineering but when I ask the interviewers he said it's DSP only.
