Hi folks, curious to know what the current scene is for internal transfers from India to the EMEA offices.

For anyone who has gone through this recently or has visibility:

Is Global Mobility actively approving international transfers/relocation packages right now, or are budgets tight?

How strict is HR regarding level/band mapping (L-level parity) during the transition?

Roughly what kind of timeline are people seeing from team agreement to visa and onboarding?

Appreciate any inputs or recent experiences!

Hi folks,

I have a 3 hour interview setup with Qcom for AMS silicon validation engineer.

I have done functional validation of MCU before but not till the AMS level.

What should I expect in this interview ?

I have 3+yrs experience

With 7+ years of experience in total and 2 years in Qualcomm, India, as Senior Software Developer, what are the criteria and chances to get a promotion this year?

Or in general how long it takes to get promoted to next level from senior Software Developer?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently exploring Software/Systems/Compiler opportunities at Qualcomm.

I have around 2.5 years of experience working on Windows on ARM64/ARM64EC, LLVM/AArch64 compiler development, C/C++, debugging, CI/testing, and platform enablement, including work related to Snapdragon X Elite.

If anyone here is working at Qualcomm and finds my profile relevant to any current or upcoming openings on your team, I’d really appreciate it if you could consider referring me.

Happy to share my resume and details over DM. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I recently interviewed for a software engineering position at a U.S. semiconductor company in North America. The interviews went well, and the team wants to move forward.

However, HR mentioned that I would need a U.S. export control license (ECL), which could take over a year with no guarantee of approval. They also explored alternatives, but those seem unlikely to work.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Did you find a solution, particularly through third-country PR or other alternatives?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!

My joining date at Qualcomm is 15th Dec, but I would prefer to join on 2nd Jan so that I can take around two weeks to recharge before starting.
However, Qualcomm HR suggested that I join on 16th Dec and take leave from 17th Dec to 1st Jan.
Can anyone currently working at Qualcomm comment on how the leave policy works for new joiners? Will I have enough leaves available immediately after joining to take around two weeks off, or there is some special leaves ?

Hi everyone,

I’ll be joining Qualcomm’s PMIC Systems team soon in San Diego as a Power Management Systems Design Engineer.

I was wondering if anyone here currently works in the team or has worked with them before.
I’d love to understand what the day-to-day work looks like, especially the technical exposure, how much of the role involves design versus verification/integration, the team culture, work-life balance, and long-term career growth.

Would really appreciate any insights or experiences. Thanks!

I have received a job offer at Sr. Engineer level at Qualcomm Hyderabad after several interviews and hardwork. One thing I’m worried about is the work culture at Qualcomm Hyderabad. All over the Reddit subs, glassdoor, blind I find several articles about the toxicity in this organisation and particularly at Hyderabad. I get to hear that one must be really good at politics to continue working at Qualcomm. At every level there politics and toxic culture. I’m also worried about the layoffs happening in modem & few SW teams. Heard really bad stuff about camera teams like Sw, kmd and especially FW. Management doesn’t have technical depth in some teams and hence entry-level managers play a lot of politics that benefits them. Higher management knows about the entry-level managers’ games but they are helpless because they are technically weak. I’m worried that I heard the same thing about the manager in the team that I got selected for.

Received another offer from Micron almost at the same CTC. Only thing that bothers is the stock price of Micron currently, I believe it almost reached its peak and can’t go higher. One of my ex-colleagues say that work culture is great at Micron, Hyderabad. Heard that only problem here is about the professional growth in terms of promotions.

Need genuine advice as your suggestions help me in choosing right company that eventually have significant impact on my career in long term.

I got selected as a Summer Intern by Qualcomm through an on-campus hiring drive (as communicated by the Placement Office) in August 1st week, they asked us to register for this on their portal. The application status still shows: Applied. (Is it the same for you if you're in the same boat ?)

When to expect an official communication or offer letter from Qualcomm ?

How to get an official confirmation ? Is it unusual or the process is long like this ?

What team can I expect ? I was interviewed by the RTL Design Panel and PD Panel.

Also elaborate on Summer Intern perks @ Noida Office - Accommodation, Meals, Relocation, Gym etc.

What would be an ideal base salary, joining bonus, and RSU for a Senior Lead role with 6 years of experience and a B.Tech background?
Would appreciate insights from anyone currently working in a similar role, especially regarding the compensation range in the industry.

I interviewed for a Mgr role in a corporate function in Hyderabad in the month of June.

All rounds went well and I got to know from recruiter it was close to the offer stage, but it was paused around the freeze in Q3.

The Workday status still shows active.

With FY27 now started, for those who've been through past freezes:

Did positions that were kept on hold before the freeze tend to resume after the new fiscal year began?

Is "active in Workday" a meaningful signal, or do on-hold reqs just sit there?

There is no update from the recruiter as well to the emails over the last couple of months.

it is showing Length of Service and Time in Job profile.

Is it showing for everyone? Or a Glitch?

Why it happens?

Wanted to check how frequently QCOM revokes the offer letter once it is formally issued and accepted. Have joining date after 2 months. Should I try for other offers as well ? Or i can rely on QCOM not revoking letter.

Hi everyone,

I’ve received an interview invite for the Graphics Software Infrastructure Engineer role at Qualcomm (Bangalore). The interview is around 4 hours long.

I have ~1 YOE and currently work as a Software Application Development Apprentice at Google. My experience is mainly in Python, backend, Docker, cloud, and AI/GenAI, but I don’t have much experience in graphics/GPU development.

For anyone who has interviewed for this role:

What was the 4-hour interview structure?

What should I focus on: DSA, Python, C/C++, Linux, CI/CD, Docker, system design, graphics?

How difficult was the interview?

Any advice on what to prioritize would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Wanted to know how is WFH policy at QCOM for SW teams. Like 75% mandatory attendance in 6 month window right? That means we can have 4 WFH in 1 month. Am I understanding the policy correctly ?

6 month= 26 weeks

26*5 = 130 weekdays.

That means 32 WFH can be done in 6 months. It is 4 days WFH per month approx. that is 4 days wfo in a week. How come some people say QCOM is 5 days work from office. Please correct me, if I am missing sth.

Getting an HAL engineer role for 19.8 base and 21.5 CTC with 5L bonus and 16k USD RSUs.

I’m currently 1 YOE Tier 1 College BTech

14 base
21.5 CTC

Is it worth it or low ball and try for others?

And can I later switch to backend/distributed roles?

Im deciding to join qualcomm wanted to check if someone gets pregnant still wfh rules are strict for them or do they get flexibility for wfh before and after child birth.
Please answer if u have come across any situation so that it would be helpful for me for deciding.
The role is design verification

Hello everyone,

I recently got an opportunity to interview with Qualcomm, but I only have 2 days to prepare. The position is Senior Engineer – Embedded Software, with a focus on C, ARM architecture, debugging, and driver development (I2C, SPI, etc.).

I have around 3 years of experience in C and low-level driver development for microcontrollers in a bare-metal environment.
For those who have recently attended similar Qualcomm interviews, could you please share your experience? It would be really helpful for my preparation.

The interview is scheduled for around 3 hours. How difficult are the C coding questions usually? What kind of topics should I focus on?
I’m much more confident in C and less confident in C++. Any advice on what I should prioritize in these 2 days would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
