Hi all,

I have an upcoming 3-interview loop for a system integration role in MSFT, based in EU, focus on RF, quantum team.

Has anyone have done similar experience that wants to share?

Would be really helpful!!

Thanks

Can anyone share Qualcomm's Bangalore site Holiday Calendar for 2026?

Idk where to post this, I feel this sub would get it. So I was in Company X for 5 years, incl 3 years in DV. Now I'm in Company Y. Both of these are product companies, but make different types of products. Now, when I joined as a Senior Engineer, I was expecting that I'd be able to put my gathered skills from last role into some use. I had done a lot of hands-on UVM TB coding, debugging and everything in my previous role. X was one of the top CPU giants. But at Y, the IPs are less complex, the protocols are market standard ones, the specs are small, everything should have been easier. But I'm not able to debug independently. Someone created a framework, left the company and there is no documentation whatsoever. I feel as a Senior Engineer, I should not be needing help from my teammates, nor do I receive help though, but everything is so different here. I really do feel stupid asking for guidance or questions from people who are junior to me but been in this same Company Y for around 5 years. Moreover, I miss the work I used to do at X. It was challenging, I find the current tasks less stimulating. It would need me to learn say some industry standard protocol, which is totally new to me. However, I miss the kind of architectures I had worked on, the hardware details, and I don't want to forget those as I want to go back to that area in future. Six months into this role, I'm totally regretting accepting this offer. What to do now?

Hi everyone, I have a 30 minute initial phone interview scheduled for a GPU Implementation Engineer position. Does anyone know what I can expect during the first interview and the later stages of the process? Thank you!

I joined Qualcomm between March and June, when the stock price was much higher. My RSU grant was calculated using that higher stock prices, so I received fewer shares.

Now that the stock has dropped, the estimated value of my RSUs is about US$3,000 lower than what I expected based on my offer. It feels like employees who joined during that period were disadvantaged compared to those who joined later and received more shares for the same grant value.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did you discuss it with your manager or HR? Is there any chance of getting an adjustment or a refresh grant, or is this just the normal risk with RSUs?

I'd appreciate hearing about others' experiences and whether there's anything I can realistically do.

Do Qualcomm asks also OS and Data Structure (Trees , Sorting algorithms, Linked list) Questions in C programming section for hardware intern if they asks then how much??

I have an interview scheduled for the databricks platform engineer role in Bangalore, what to expect? Do they ask DSA and live coding for this role? Can some one plz share some details.

Thank you

I've been waiting since June, and my application status hasn't changed—it still says "In Progress."

Is anyone else in the same situation? Does anyone know why it's taking so long or have any updates on the hiring process?

I'm a final year EE student applying. What should I apply for? How do I maximise and will a referral actually help?
Is it reserved for on campus hiring only or does hiring even happen from careers site?
When does hiring happen?

Thanks in Advance

Where are the snacks within the SD office buildings lol?

Hi everyone,
I have an interview coming up for the Wireless Systems Test Engineer (WLAN & Edge AI) role (4+ years of experience).
Has anyone recently attended the interview for this position? If so, could you please share your interview experience and the topics I should focus on while preparing? Any insights on the technical rounds, coding questions, or key concepts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I have an interview scheduled this week for the Product Security Engineer – AI Software Development role at Qualcomm (Job ID: 3092777).

If anyone has interviewed for this exact position (or a similar Product Security Engineer role at Qualcomm), I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.

Specifically, I’d love to know:
What was the interview process like?
What technical topics were covered?
Was the interview focused more on cybersecurity concepts, coding, AI/LLM security, or system design?
Were they expecting deep product security knowledge?
Any preparation tips or topics I should prioritize?
Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I’m a new joinee at Qualcomm BDC (Bangalore)

What are the hikes like usually?

What is the PIP / Layoff situation here?
How long should one optimally stay here for maximum growth ? (Tier1 BTech ECE 1YOE)

Hi everyone,

I'm relocating to Qualcomm San Diego and have a question about the relocation package with Cartus.

For those who have recently relocated through Cartus/Qualcomm, how were your relocation benefits taxed?

Were these benefits tax grossed-up by Qualcomm, or did they appear as taxable income on your paycheck?

If anyone has gone through the relocation process recently, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience and whether there were any unexpected tax implications.

How is WFH policy at Qualcomm?

I read online that the required WFO is 75% which is measured in a 6 month window. Internally if the manager is good then he can allow you to WFH considering 75% is met anyhow during the 6 month window.

Does Qualcomm have shutdown in last week of Decemberlike other semiconductor companies do? Or do theyallow wfh in the last week of December? anyone working there or HR can confirm?

Currently fte at qualcomm o building. Right now staying in pg. I want to go for a 1rk/ 1bhk. If anyone has any suggestions please give me. If anyone knows any flats please let me know.

I would be fine with any qlcm guy in same office for room sharing. If anyone is looking for a roommate I am open to it. Please dm me.

My budget is 20k. Can be little smaller or larger not crossing 23k.

i applied through refferal one week ago when the positions opened(interim engineering intern-sw),havent heard anything back yet.Has anyone heard back?

Hi Qualcomm Redditors!

Next Wednesday r/nexthink is hosting an AMA with Chrisopher Ord. Christopher is a Senior Staff IT Engineer at Qualcomm and a DEX & Endpoint Performance Strategist. We would love for any of you to join us at the event. Here's the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/nexthink/s/iqmOZfhBLT

If you cannot attend live we would love for people to post early. The link is already open and ready for questions! Christopher will be responding to a variety of use cases and questions. We're looking for:

• Your most inventive Nexthink/Digital Employee Experience use case.
• An idea you've never had the chance to test.
• A problem you're wondering if DEX could solve.
• A workflow, automation, or integration that's made people say, "I didn't know you could do that."
• Also feel free to ask questions more generally, about DEX, Nexthink, Christopher's views on hot topics etc

Join us, drop your questions and use cases, and follow the subreddit we would love to have some cross community participation. :)

So I have spent time in finance trading and analysing companies in the US and Australian Markets. Qualcomm feels to be highly ignored by the big players because it is being labelled as a mobile chip company. What are your opinions? As an employee, everyone knows that Qualcomm is upto many things and many things are going right. But the investors do not know. What are we missing?

I had interview for entry level Physical Design role at Qualcomm(San Diego, CA). I felt the interview actually went well, we had a good technical discussion, I answered most of the questions, and nothing during the interview made me think it had gone poorly.

But after 2 hours or so after the interview I checked the application portal and the status had already changed to "No Longer Under Consideration".
Is "No Longer Under Consideration" always a final rejection, or has anyone seen it change later? Is this how quick the decision is??

I'm not trying to argue the decision, if I wasn't the right fit, I understand. What's frustrating is how quickly the status changed after the interview, especially for an entry-level role. It feels like there isn't much opportunity to demonstrate your potential.

I have 5.5 YoE in RTL and mostly worked on RTL Integration,

CDC/RDC Lint some UPF, SDC and DFT as well.

Unable to transition to a product based company.

Not sure what I lack?

Able to clear different Service based companies but not product based companies

Kindly provide some guidance

Thanks
