I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Jan 2010
Interview
As part of the recruiting event Destination Q, I flew to San Diego to participate in interviews. There were three technical interviews focusing on: C/C++, RTOS, and Problem Solving. The interview experience depended entirely on who you were fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to get. Some interviewers were phenomenal while another was absolutely terrible. San Diego is a beautiful area, though, and should be considered.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Jul 2008
Interview
I had a phone interview on simple C and C++ . The interviewer basically looked into if I know wat i am talking.
After that I had an online test..They sent me a ssample program and wanted me to mail it in 30 minutes.
It was on reversing the bits of a number.
I was invited for an on site interview . The interview went daylong...may be 5 in total (including lunch interview).
It was on C, C++ and data structures and OS concepts.
I am not a CS major and all though I kept OS on my resume, I dont know much abt it and I didnt perform well in 2 interviews.. Although the rest of the interviews were good.
But the interview was not tough at all. Know all that u keep on ur resume.
