I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Jul 2011
Interview
Initial phone interview was very basic and relatively short (30 mins). Questions ranged from basic EE 101 type to synthesis issues. It was NOT by the hiring manager but another engineers in the hiring team.

With two other engineers in a call that lasted about an hour. They asked questions about my resume and some technical questions on programming in C and C++, but the questions weren't too difficult and they were very welcoming.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Ann Arbor, MI) in Nov 2019
Interview
The interviewer was aggressive and confrontational. He made me doubt what I was saying for each answer, and made me generally uncomfortable for the entire 45 minutes. I did not enjoy it.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Feb 2019
Interview
Had two telephonic interviews, one with a senior engineer and one with the manager. Each was 30 minutes long. Questions were mainly based on resume and core embedded concepts like communication protocols and basic C concepts.
