I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Qualcomm in June 2016
Interview
Written test followed by three Skype interviews.
The whole process took one week and it was very smooth.
The written test was difficult.
Interviewers are very gentle during the process.
In addition to technical portion they also check general problem-solving skills by asking puzzles. But they do help in the interview by dropping hints.
three rounds of interview
1. dsa two qns from hacker rank (1 easy and 1 medium) and projects
2. dsa 1 qn (medium) and a api read and manipulate qns from hacker rank
i got rejected in 2nd round
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Cork)
