I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Cork) in May 2025
Interview
- 2 initial technical interviewers at senior level, SV/UVM general questions, live coding, etc.
- 1 HR interview, general soft skills, past experience, etc.
- 2 further interviews with the director or engineering, and two juniors, respectively. More of a quiz with the manager, condescending, was unsure of my level of experience. Offer had been given; no contract however. Last interview was Python and SV live coding.
Offer rescinded.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name and describe the differences between SystemVerilog forks.
The interviewer asked if I knew UVM, I said I am self learning - but have not worked on it in a project. He responded condescendingly, asking what I have been doing for the past 2 years in the job.
Overall, it was an unnecessary insulting experience, not expected from a company of this caliber. Good riddance I do not have to work with such team mates.
