Audio Applications Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California
Process
I applied online and arranged an interview in two weeks.
There were two phone interviews in total.
The first interviewer browsed my resume and asked about projects I'd done in college. The second interview focused on technical questions on signal processing.
In the end, I didn't perform well in the second interview and could not get an on-site interview.

Qualcomm Work Experiences
- 3.0Ten years later, productivity, stifled with excessive managementSenior Staff Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Diego, California, United StatesJanuary 23, 2015Pros: Employees are trusted. Most policies encourage innovation and ownership. The work is reasonably good. Above all, you can always find smart people working with you. A good place to start your career.Cons: This is a large company, employee-wise. Though this is an engineering company, as with any large human enterprise, the people who are true engineers/scientists are a small minority. Constant self-promotion, and telling all who listen how busy you are, is essential. Productivity per engineer is low because of the time spent getting 'visibility' with your upper management.
