I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Feb 2014
Interview
I applied for the software engineering intern; however, the person who called me asked me all about hardware related stuff. He told me to contact this other person who's in charge of the software team. I contact the person, she never replied. I tried contacting Qualcomm about it and they told me that all positions are full.
Written test followed by F2F interview rounds..
Focus is more on your hands-on expertise rather than your knowledge on DS and algo.
Questions were asked related to syntax. Like flags in grep command, command to replace a string in Vi editor, which I felt was completely uncalled for.
