      Software Applications Engineering - Customer Engineering Intern Interview

      7 Oct 2012
      Anonymous employee
      San Diego, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2012

      Interview

      Initially was selected for a phone screen interview with the Software Applications team. Had two rounds with that team. I thought the interview went pretty well but for some reason was rejected. The interview focused mainly on System Programming and OS questions. Brush up concepts on Memory, Cache, Paging, Semaphores-mutexes, etc. I thought I did well on both the rounds so I contacted my recruiter back asking for a genuine reason for my denial. They told that they found a better match for that position. But due to my good review from previous interviewer they gave me a chance to interview again with 3 different teams. One was for IT and other 2 were for Software Engineering. They liked my other interviews and gave me the offer.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      1) What is the difference between Semaphores and Mutexes? 2) What is the difference between a TLB and MMU? 3) Find a loop in a linked list. 4) Some algorithmic question based on Binary Search.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Behavioral Questions: 1) Questions on your resume. (Make sure you know each and every stuff on your resume well- They are very smart to read your mind) 2) Why do you want to join Qualcomm? (Be passionate about it. Do some research and go).
