I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Raleigh, NC) in Jan 2010
Interview
Received a phone call to schedule a phone interview. Then received a phone call with 2-3 engineers and answered some technical questions. Subsequently scheduled an on-site interview.
There were 4 sessions each about an hour with 2-3 people. Questions about micro-architecture and logic design were asked. Variable-width adder, pipeline control, cache configuration, multiplier, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design a variable data-width parallel adder that can optionally be signed or cosigned using a minimal number of bits.
three rounds of interview
1. dsa two qns from hacker rank (1 easy and 1 medium) and projects

i got rejected in 2nd round
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Cork)
Interview
HR & Technical, pretty standard. There was a few coding questions, and the interviewer was helpful and they were trying to help clarify the questions. HR was helpful and made a lot of customizations for me
ScreenTest
3 Technical Rounds
OS, DP, LinkedList, Bit Manipulation and string coding questions.
Semaphores, mutexes, OSI layers etc.
Applied via LinkedIN.
Went through past interview questions.
Bit Manipulation and memory management is important.
