Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó más de 2 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Qualcomm (San Diego, CA)
Entrevista
Normally there is a phone screen with the hiring manager. I was recommended by the hiring manager so I was able to bypass this step. The second part of the interview was a 7 hour onsite where I met 8 different people for anywhere between 45 minutes to 1 hour. I described it as "The Gauntlet" because it was the hardest interview I've ever experienced. I was asked technical and behavioral questions.
From the time of initially applying and getting an offer it took over 10 weeks and I was an employee referral.

Too many rounds. Mostly repetitive. Can be optimised a bit more.
Overall it was a good experience but questions were too technical and in depth for program manager role.
Otherwise no issues

Entrevista
I applied online and received an email message from the Hiring Manager (HM) to set up a call. HM didn't show for the call and asked to reschedule. The position description indicated that this role was located in the "United States". In the email back-and-forth to reschedule the call, I attempted to verify that this was in fact a remote position but was informed that the position was to be located in San Diego, a location where I am unwilling to live or work. I decided to reschedule the call anyway and see if there could be flexibility regarding the location.
At the agreed upon date and time, a peer was on the call and she informed me that she just received an email from HM that he couldn't make the call. I was told that I would hear back about my status within two weeks.
About a month later, I emailed HM and asked for status info? No response. The position is still posted and my application has not been dispositioned on Qualcom's ATS. Yes there is active pandemic and many things are likely being delayed or placed on hold. Nevertheless I was not not treated with the minimal courtesy that all candidates should reasonably expect.
I was certainly not impressed and would not want to work for HM, Qualcom, or in San Diego. I will not apply again to Qualcomm anytime soon.

It was so long ago (+/- two months) that I simply don't recall.
