I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Dec 2014
Interview
Multiple interviews with Operations Management Team. Also, featured a panel interview with team I'd be joining. The process was spread over 2 days with a 1 hour interview on the third day with my hiring manager. Questions spanned a range of topics from my approach to current problems to technical questions relation to engineering background of manufacturing processes. On balance, the interviewers presented fair questions. I was also able to pose my own questions establish clear expectations for the new role.

Question 1
How will you apply learning and experiences from your past role to this new opportunity?
Good. Technical details were discussed clearly, together with my past projects and relevant domain knowledge. The interview was well structured and focused, with questions that allowed me to present my experience, technical background, and problem-solving approach in a coherent way.
Posso dizer que num geral positiva, processo rápido, em uma semana foi realizado. Perguntas de nível médio, bem técnicas mesmo e assertivas. Entrevistadores simpáticos, duração longa de entrevista, mas foram ok.
