Writing exam, Tour, Interview
Difficult, nice interviewer.
1-hour writing exam, about 30-minute interview.
Most important thing is not to get stuck on only one question.
DSP is quite difficult and needs careful review.

Qualcomm Work Experiences
5.0
Great working environment
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Diego, California, United States
September 22, 2025
Pros: Work-life balance is very team-dependent, but mine was generally pretty good, although very busy at times. You can have a big impact on important features that affect millions of people through Snapdragon products. Many of my team members have been at Qualcomm for several years or even decades.
Cons: Work can be very niche and may not carry over to other companies or industries.
3.0
Challenging Work Lacking, Mixed
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Hyderābād, Telangana, India

Pros: Can’t remember too many pros.
Cons: No challenging work. It probably depends upon the team and project.
2.0
Integrity is not valued
Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Diego, California, United States
April 12, 2016
Pros: A lot of interesting R&D projects, many talented/dedicated engineers. (Sadly, a lot of them already left.)
Cons: Some high-title engineers/leads' knowledge is out of date and they are incapable of leading R&D projects.
A lot of R&D projects are pushed to lower-level engineers to figure out on their own, forcing them to live neck-breaking lives.
