Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California

July 1, 2014
Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

Very good process.

I was supposed to work as a contractor for Qualcomm. The hiring manager from Qualcomm directly called me to set up an interview. I was a referral candidate as well.

After an hour-long telephonic interview, I was extended an offer letter.

Questions

Very silly questions, like:

  • What are the storage classes in C?

They asked OS-related stuff and a bit about Linked Lists. The rest of the questions were related to C, Data Structures, and projects from my resume.

Make sure you know your resume well. I had taken up Wireless Communications in my second semester and was asked questions on that, such as:

  • What did you learn?
  • Explain in brief.

Was this helpful?
