Process
My recruiter selected me for an interview with Qualcomm, though with very few details provided.
The interview was almost entirely technical, with little regard for what was already on my resume.
Overall, it was a depressing experience:
- The questions were all trivia, with no problem-solving or whiteboarding.
- The interviewer did not even tell me his name.
- He smiled twice during the entire forty-five minutes.
Questions
