Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Bengaluru) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview process lasted for three hours, during which they inquired about all the projects I had worked on based on my profile. They were trying to extract information that was relevant to their work. I have mostly worked on the application side of development for L2/L3 routers, WiFi routers, and WLC. During the interview process, I shared my experience with them, but after three hours, they informed me that my experience was mostly in application development, whereas they required low-level coding knowledge. During the "tell me about yourself" section, I had clearly explained that I was not a low-level firmware developer

I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Pittsburgh, PA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Interview was straightforward without any curveballs. The manager doing the phone screen was very nice and gave off an amiable impression. Overall it felt like a standard embedded firmware interview.
