I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Aug 2024
Interview
I attended an off-campus interview with Qualcomm and completed two rounds of technical interviews. Both rounds went well, with positive feedback from the interviewers. However, HR completely ghosted me. Despite my attempts to follow up via calls and emails, I received no feedback or status updates. It was a highly unprofessional experience and a total waste of time. Very unethical practice.
