Engineering Interview Experience - San Diego, California
Process
I had several phone interviews with Qualcomm for their engineer positions but failed to score an on-site one, mostly because I wasn't very prepared for their technical questions.
So, make sure you have the basics down before applying.
As much as I remember, those interview questions covered lots of C fundamentals, such as:
- Pointers
- Function pointers
- Function calls
…as well as other computer science knowledge.
Good luck!
