San Diego Focus, Management Overload
San Diego Focus, Management Overload
Good benefits and decent work-life balance, provided you work at the San Diego location, as all the interesting work happens there. Other centers are treated as satellite sites to aid the main team.
Also, folks are more interested in getting promotions than doing any original work. If you do not join the right team with the right designation, you are in for a tough experience.
Too much middle management has taken focus away from engineering culture. The company needs to get back to the philosophy it started with.

Qualcomm Interview Questions
Qualcomm Interview Experiences
DV Engineer
The Qualcomm interview was a well-structured and technically intensive process. It began with a screening round that focused on digital design fundamentals and SystemVerilog concepts. Subsequent rounds included detailed questions on UVM methodology
Design Verification Engineer Intern
The back-to-back technical interviews were tough. It was a terrible experience, and I wasn't enjoying the process. The recruiting managers also spoke in Hindi to one another during the interview, which I found to be very disrespectful.
Engineer
Full day interview from 10 AM to 4 PM, with a lunch break in the middle. I was interviewed by 5 different senior members of the team, excluding the initial 30-minute phone interview. Results were communicated the next day.
