I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Bengaluru) in Jan 2017
Interview
I got the interview mail through LinkedIn. After reaching at The Leela Palace, Bangalore,
the hiring manager started the interview in very casual mode. He took my interview while roaming around throughout the lawn of the hotel and keep asking interview questions mostly from my previous project of Intel. In Second round, I was asked some programming concept. on second day, again the hiring manager asked me more questions in depth from the project I was working in Intel and after that he gave me offer before the HR round only. HR round was as usual but after 1 month later I got the offer finally from Qualcomm.

I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2013
Interview
the interview is quite team dependent. unlike web companies, leetcode/lintcode is 100% required. QCOM want you to match the team requirements directly. The best way is to contact your friends in the team then you got focus of that team. Otherwise, it is very hard to get offer since interview questions are quite diversified.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Bengaluru)
Interview
It was a scheduled walk-in drive and there were around 30 candidates. The interview took around 3 technical rounds two rounds were project specific and one round was on basics of digital, System Verilog and UVM etc. After these three rounds there was a final HR round in which they asked for my expectations. Waited for around a month for the offer to come as the offer approval process takes a long time.
