I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualcomm
Interview
I was selected by my recruiter to interview with Qualcomm, with very little details.
The interview was almost 100% technical, with little regard to what was already on my resume. Overall, it was a depressing experience: the questions were all trivia (no problem solving/whiteboarding), the interviewer didn't even tell me his name, and he smiled twice the entire forty five minutes.
The entire process consisted of reaching out through a recruiter and one phone screen interview with the hiring manager and a past intern (current employee). I heard back within a couple days.
