I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Oct 2010
Interview
Campus recruiter hooked me up with a 45 minute interview. He got back to me within the next week with the offer. My interviewer talked a lot about himself, which was unusual, perhaps to fill in the void for the questions relating to operating systems.
Only technical question: write a function to convert a decimal integer to a binary. Write a function for the reverse.
Asked about previous internships and why I liked/did not like them.
Very enthused about his team's product.
I approach interviews spontaneously, focusing on genuine technical discussions rather than memorized answers. I share real experiences from my embedded software projects, discussing complex issues with sensor integration very naturally.
It will be 3 round interview process with 2 round technical and 3 will be managerial round .
In Technical round it would be DSA : LinkList, Bit manupulation mostly
They would ask regarding oops concept .They will also ask regarding question mentioned in resume . It would be interactive .
In managerial round you could be asked about work related stuf and salary expectation
