Software Engineer Interview Experience - Farnborough, United Kingdom
June 6, 2026
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.
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.

Want to settle down? Come here. Want adventure? Never come here

Qualcomm wants to be the market leader in whatever it does
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Diego, California, United States
January 5, 2015
Pros: Excellent people to work with. No mid-level management crap. All people at senior levels have risen through the ranks.
Excellent benefits for the entire family. Perhaps the best in the US!
Cons: Employers in the Bay Area pay at least 10% more than what Qualcomm offers in San Diego. It is high time a salary correction is made for San Diego employees, since the cost of living in San Diego is similar to that of the Bay Area.
On a few days, work can get crazy, and I end up staying long hours to finish it up. This perhaps is part of Qualcomm's culture to give what it takes to keep customers happy.
Also, it is common to work during weekends if you are in town.
