      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Boulder, CO) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      Interview consisted of an hour long initial phone screen and then a "round robin" interview with many other candidates. Interviews were both almost completely technical. They didn't seem interested in getting to know the candidates, only how they could perform under pressure and with technical problems. Phone interview (1 hr) (pure technical) Q: What is a watchdog timer? A: Correct Q: What is atomic programming/non-locking operation? A: Idk What is concurrency and multithreading? A: correct What is static keyword? A: correct What is volatile keyword? A: correct Programming problem (live) (reverse a linked list) A: correct In person interview (round robin, 4 interviews, 30 min each, whiteboard) I1: Add a new node to a linked list A: Mostly correct I2: Embedded systems questions, low level programming question using "malloc" A: Incorrect, did not perform well I3: Function that takes a 2d array of a "sudoku board", and checks to make sure it is a possible board. A: Mostly correct I4: Reverse string function, reverse words function, binary tree questions A: Correct
