Software/Systems Test Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California
Process
I was contacted by email and set up a phone interview a few days later. I spoke briefly with the hiring manager about my past experience, then they began to ask technical questions.
The questions related to object-oriented programming, despite the job description not asking for that skill and my resume not stating I had it. I don't really understand why they contacted me and assume there must have been some miscommunication between HR and the hiring manager.
I was quite disappointed by the experience, as I had previously thought highly of the idea of working for Qualcomm.

- 2.0No work-life balance in QCT and Target SW divisionSoftware/Systems Test Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Diego, California, United StatesOctober 17, 2014Pros: Review done every 6 months. Good benefit package.Cons: Lots of late hours and weekend work expected from most engineers and senior engineers. Bad managers with bad people skills carrying out directions and pushing it down to whoever. No work-life balance at all. HR will mostly take management's side. I saw hired consultants not getting paid for weekend work; management wouldn't approve their hours. Maybe okay if you are not working for QCT / Target SW division. Not worth sacrificing family time just for the great benefit package. There are plenty of other companies in San Diego who will pay more salary.
