The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Feb 2010
Interview
I applied online at QUALCOMM's website. I was emailed by a recruiter 2 weeks later. We scheduled an interview for the next week.
The interview consisted of two one on one, hour sessions with Software Engineers.The people were friendly and helpful.
First interviewer asked me to implement a Linked List in C, and swap the order of characters in a string without using a for loop or indexes. i.e. with pointers.
Second interviewer asked about general OO principles and more general knowledge questions about programming and developing.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Implement a Linked List and all methods needed to add and find entries in it.
I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Farnborough, London, England) in Jun 2026
Interview
Three weeks after applying, I was invited to a 30-minute screening interview for this Friday. However, only 20 minutes before the scheduled start time, they requested to reschedule to Monday. Given that I had already rearranged my day to accommodate the original meeting, I chose to withdraw my application out of respect for my own time.
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 .
