Verification Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California
Process
The phone interview was pretty easy. The person did not ask any technical questions.
I was called for a 1:1 engineer interview with the manager, program director, and four other engineers. The first question was what I do. I explained all the technical aspects of my job.
Then there was a 1:1 interview with other senior and junior engineers. Many questions were from analog design.
My only and most important advice is to read EVERYTHING from the job description. Read every single topic and practice some basic mathematical problems related to the job description.
Pay close attention to the topics that the person recommends you to read before the 1:1 interview (over the phone). Write it down or record the phone conversation during the phone interview. They ask you questions from what they advise you to read.
Overall, it was a very good experience.

Qualcomm Work Experiences
- 4.0Good Flexibility, Political ManagementVerification Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Diego, California, United StatesSeptember 11, 2015Pros: Great benefit and work flexibility. Inclusive work environment in which people believe they can make a contribution regardless of their level.Cons: Highly political. Compared to other engineering companies, there are a lot of superficial efforts. More time was spent to make things look good instead of doing actual good. Senior management tends to be fully aware of their "senior" status and act like it. While the policy does encourage team collaboration and spirit regardless of each person's position, the reality is that there are plenty of god complexes at the senior level management.
