Software Engineering Interview Experience - Berkeley, California
Process
I applied online to Qualcomm sometime in February 2014 and heard back a month later.
I had two interviews that were a mix of technical and behavioral questions.
The technical questions were centered around C++ or Java. The interviewer was flexible and let me answer based on the language that I preferred. There were some general questions about data structures, heap and stack, and other algorithm-based questions.
I found the behavioral questions to be fairly detailed. They included experience working with teams, experience with existing code bases, and debugging methods.
Questions
How would you debug a piece of code without access to a debugger or an IDE?
