Build and Release Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California

July 1, 2015
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter who was very persistent when it came to setting up the phone screen and on-site interviews.

After the phone screen, I was invited on-site the next day. I had heard that Qualcomm was a pretty male-dominated company, but I was shocked by just how true that was.

Waiting in the lobby for about 20 minutes for my interviewer, I saw about 50 men walk by and about 4 women. I was interviewed by 2 Indian males. The interview questions weren't too hard, but the guys never seemed to be satisfied by my answers and always responded with, "Well, we were looking more for you to tell us (this)."

I had mixed feelings about the interview but was expecting feedback the next day or early the next week, since my recruiter said they were moving fast. More than 2 weeks have gone by, and I never heard back from my recruiter, even after sending a follow-up email a week later. Extremely unprofessional.

If you are not an Indian, Asian, or White male, I suggest you don't even bother interviewing here.
