I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Vague, questions asked were very unique. no one should remember the entire resource grid structure when one can get info by just 10 sec search online.
Interviewers were very arrogant and it seems like a grill. Interviews are supposed be a discussion and not grill.
Interview went 90 minutes past allocated time.
