I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Dimas, CA) in Sep 2024
Interview
One of the worst recruiter experience I ever had. There were two recruiters coordinating with me to schedule interviews. Recruiters never responded to my email. Even they did not send me a rejection email until I followed up two times in two weeks. Then they sent me an auto generated email. I completed all the stages including final panel interview. Few interviewers were asking very specific questions that only product developers should be able to answer even though it is a test engineer position. Felt like they were looking for software developer at test engineer salary.
Interview process took roughly an hour with 2 interviewers. Questions mainly related to what was on my resume, mainly those related to the role, like my internship experience and final year project in my last year at university. Was asked to draw and explain my project as well as write down in code or pseudo code to a simple calculation problem.
