I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Hyderābād) in Apr 2025
Interview
The recruiter contacted for a job I applied through referral. The interview was held 3 days later.
There were supposed to be 3 rounds each of 45 mins with a 4-5 min break in between. I only interviewed for the first round as I could not clear the round.
The recruiter mentioned Embedded Concepts, C and OS concepts as what they will be asking.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
What is a dangling pointer? Can you explain how dangling pointers occur? How would you check if your program has any dangling pointers using your own program?
Good. Technical details were discussed clearly, together with my past projects and relevant domain knowledge. The interview was well structured and focused, with questions that allowed me to present my experience, technical background, and problem-solving approach in a coherent way.
Posso dizer que num geral positiva, processo rápido, em uma semana foi realizado. Perguntas de nível médio, bem técnicas mesmo e assertivas. Entrevistadores simpáticos, duração longa de entrevista, mas foram ok.
