I had applied in Qualcomm San Diego Online. My CV was shortlisted and I was interviewed by the Windows Device Drivers Team in Qualcomm for USB. Although I did very well answering 100% of the questions, but the hiring was not international. They pushed in my CV to QIPL with a recommendation. This was a telephonic interview for about 1 hour

They gave no idea about overall process. Just calling to scheduling rounds. No alignment discussions. Just kept on taking technical rounds without sharing any details of role. And post all rounds gave an offer way below my current compensation. Overall wasted my time & I would recommended anyone in my network to go with them.
4 technical rounds were there. Mostly general - DSA, sorting & searching algos, some hard leetcode, system design & resume deep dive.
