The whole interview was very ”Unprofessional “ in my option. Majority of the interview was surrounded by questions that has nothing to do the job description. The recruiter was more interest in what kind of car I drove and what kind of house I lived in.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm
