      Software Engineer Interview

      Oct 17, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Diego, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2012

      Interview

      I applied online. Got an email to schedule phone interview the very next day. Phone interview was mostly focused on C, OS and Networking. Since I did well on that, I was called onsite after a couple of weeks. Onsite consisted on 5 tech rounds and 1 HR round. Tech rounds are entirely focused on C, OS, problem solving skills and your resume. The interview process was very smooth and candidates were well taken care of. I am waiting to hear back from them. Tech questions were as follows. 1. Programs for binary search, linked list node deletion, string reversal, calculate no of bits in a number in given base, division of floating point numbers. 2. Difference between macros and functions, why/where to use macros 3. Use of static 4. Scheduling 5. How to prevent deadlocks 6. What data structures is used in routers Overall, the key is to be thorough with C, OS and memory management

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Lunch interview was the toughest. The interviewer went deep into OS and memory management.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Farnborough, London, England) in Jun 2026

      Interview

      Three weeks after applying, I was invited to a 30-minute screening interview for this Friday. However, only 20 minutes before the scheduled start time, they requested to reschedule to Monday. Given that I had already rearranged my day to accommodate the original meeting, I chose to withdraw my application out of respect for my own time.
