I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
I had two phone interviews, then on-site interview. Seven people gave me 45min interview, mainly on my past projects, their projects, basic knowledge of C, image processing. I think I answered all the questions correctly and I have deep knowledge of their field, but they rejected me. Whatever, I don't want to work with some people who don't have corresponding ability with the titles.

The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Jan 2012
Interview
I interviewed with five engineers in the order of position level ( from engineer to senior staff engineer). They mostly asked technical questions in the applied area. They are not so difficult (mostly basic signal processing questions). They also asked me to talk a lot about past experiences.
Overall they were friendly. However, as we go with people at higher position, they tend to be quite blunt (which is opposite to what I expected). After finishing all interview sessions, I did not feel like I work with them.
The work environment and benefits (mentioned by the recruiting staff) were awesome.
