Process

I interviewed at Qualcomm, San Diego on April 16, 2018.

I received an email from a team member to take a written C/Python test. Two weeks later, I received a call for a live interview.

I interviewed with six engineers from the same team. One person who was supposed to interview me took the day off, and they made significant changes to the interview schedule without informing me. The last round was with the hiring manager, who seemed very busy that day. It appeared they had already decided not to hire me.

This was the worst interview I ever had.
