AnswerLots of questions from previous experience. 80% of interview revolved around my past experience. One lady asked me three most challenging technical issues. I answered one in depth, she interrupted in between to move on to next one, but i didn't complete that answer yet. After I completed the answer, she moved on to next question!

AnswersOverall I prepared hell lot of questions and answers from embedded system, C and Linux. only a couple of simple questions asked. No linked list, data structure related questions from C, opposed to many feedback in careercup and in other sites. Most questions were around my past experience, some basic embedded questions and bit manipulations. I was disappointed as all preparation went in vain - especially a simple matrix question i was asked, wasn't able to answer correctly, which was a disaster after I knew the answer. Some interviewers probably were taking interview for first time. One kept checking emails while I was answering questions and somebody kept knocking the door (for fun) all throughout the interview. He told me just ignore that :) . The interview was for general positions, 'anything that's matches my credential'. I am supposed to get an answer in 1 week, it's been two weeks I haven't heard back. I think the matrix question from the director ruined my chance. But there were 7 interviewers. One told me and I realized in the beginning it wasn't a match in his group. But the other 5 went pretty well, as far as I think. Any one here got a reply back from Qualcomm after 2 weeks?

AnswersThe director have me a matrix on paper and asked to generate the matrix. Very simple, once found out the answer - 5x5 from number 1-25, only diagonals were changed. Couldn't answer the question, probably that cost the interview. He asked another question to build a matrix from 1 to 100 without repeating any number. I told him to use recursion, he didn't agree.

AnswersLots of questions on Linux kernel, interrupts and performance measuring of a multimedia application during lunch interview. Need to have basic knowledge on interrupts, kernel mode operations, memory management (e.g. how to detect memory leak - i answered dalloc or mtrace).

I never heard back from them.. quite unprofessional in that regards. Many big companies these days are quite scared to get sued on notifying non-selection. Defending a challenge to their decision is not easy. So they just don't inform you at all and you get to realize after a while that you are not selected. If you get selected usually you will get a call from recruiter within a week.
