Process
Two 45-minute to 1-hour interviews were conducted with Qualcomm engineers.
My first interview was over the phone, and I was mainly asked about basic C programming concepts, including how programs are run, stack/heap memory, and program structure.
The second interview was through Microsoft Teams and was more technical. I was asked a string and linked list question, and then we went through personal projects on my resume.
Two weeks later, I received an offer.
I would recommend studying LeetCode Easy/Medium questions (arrays, linked lists, strings) and reviewing data structures and algorithms concepts.

Qualcomm Work Experiences
- 3.0Good compensation, average work. A good stepping stone to enter into the big boys' clubSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeHyderābād, Telangana, IndiaJanuary 17, 2024Pros: Good compensation as compared to most of the companies in India. Great stock options. Free food (pathetic, but free). High stakes, good learning. Good overall benefits.Cons: You need to be lucky to get into a good team. As usual, your manager will make or break your career. The management vertical is not at all lean. People at the same position are reporting to each other. Things move slowly, as expected in a big tech company. Slow promotions. Low-level promotions are not performance-based at all. Non-existent HR system. Bureaucracy. Qualcomm hired people like it was the last day on Earth. In the name of diversity and inclusion, Qualcomm degraded its interview and hiring standards. Good talent has already left. Whatever is remaining, the old-school (the old guard) management is making sure they leave as well. Most people are workaholics and expect you to be one as well. Working extended hours is so normal that if you complain about it, you will be laughed at. You will be told how you are wrong for not working 12 hours a day.
