Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California
Process
Had 2 rounds of telephonic interview (1 tech + 1 HR).
The HR interview was about interests in QCT, team, and so on.
The tech round consisted of C, OS concepts, data structures, and a puzzle.
Got a positive response in 5 days and was called onsite.
The onsite interview comprised of 6 tech rounds and 1 HR round.
Again, the focus was on writing code in C, OS, and Networking.
It's 2 weeks now, and I haven't yet heard back from them.
