r/qualcomm

so i have received offer and i have accepted it,

now portal shows job status as "In Process", is this normal?

anyone recently got offer letter/ about to join, can you please check once?

I am a new grad who got a technical interview for a QCT Software Automation and Tools position after a recruiter screen a few weeks back. Are there any tips? I've been studying up on the relevant technologies in the job description and practicing leetcode already.

Completed a full loop for a role. Next day my portal shows that particular role as Position Closed and moved to Inactive Tab. Like there can be two things either they made an offer and sombebody signed because of which position closed. Or may be they closed the position so that they do not get any new candidates and select the ones that are already there and are interviewing. Also on my Qualcomm tabs I can see some roles explicitly mention No longer in consideration and the roles are still open. Something similar happened with me while interviewing for a screening round at Apple. The Apple recruiter said they are closing the poistion to priotize the candidates already in the pool during my screening round.

So what can possibily can be the case in my situation?

Hi everyone,

I just wrapped up my final rounds of virtual technical interviews for an SWE role at Qualcomm's San Diego headquarters. The interviews went really well, and I'm feeling optimistic about my chances of getting an offer.

For context: I have about 2 years of professional experience. For anyone who's been through this process at Qualcomm, id love to hear about your experience with the timeline. Specifically:

- How long did the decision making process take?
- What should I expect in terms of salary negotiations?
- Any other insights from your offer stage onward?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

I got offer for lead sr and hsve 8 yrs exp. they have offered 53 base + 5L pf gratuity and 9L jb and 35k stocks. Is it a good offer? Or below avg offer

For the people who got hired through on campus placements back in nov/dec...did any of you get offer letters yet? The last activity was just a consent form signing on workday in Feb, total silence since then. Any idea of when they ll roll out. Even location is unsure rn.

Qualcomm is a multi-national company. Questions like "What time do i need to be in the office?" or "What's the hiring process?" differ by location.

We've added location flairs for the most popular Qualcomm offices - if your question relates to a particular office, you must select the correct flair or your post will be removed.

If your question is more generally about Qualcomm products, select General Question

Thanks!

I have got a mail that my profile has been shortlisted for offer. Generally how much time HR takes to generate an offer?

Is it still hiring freeze or it resumed?
Thank you!

Hello folks,

I would like to know about the office in the Bay area (Santa Clara). What are the amenities like, the food, the gym, health center, etc, and any other on-site benefits and perks?

Most of the info online are about the HQ in San Diego.

Thanks in advance!

I have 14 years of relevant experience. Recently joined Q and was wondering. What is the criteria to get promoted ? How long does it generally take ?

Is there anybody who joined recently.

I got some pr related docs on workday, like form-11, pf nomination form etc.

We are supposed to take blank prints or we need to fill it before going on day1?

I had a doubt. Can qualcomm employees earn through side hustles like content creation or freelancing? Are there any HR policies against these kinds of income?

With my experience, after giving lot of interviewes

1. Qualcomm (even if you selected they won't talk , Even you have offer also they will won't pick your calls, they did PH.D in ghosting)
2. JPMC (Calls randomly, if you perform well also they won't update you or send rejection mail)
3. T-mobile( after completing all the rounds then says I not fit for that role, since expertise not matching - went for ondrive)
4. Google ( after completing virtual and got postives now I not getting call for onsite, just hr were hopping me to one another)
5. BlueYonder( after agreed to the expected ctc, while sending offer they started negotiating and started to ghost)
6. Special mention ANSR(says help to grow gcc), they don't care what was role and candidate expertise they just call and get the interview Nd rejects in middle.
7. there were lot of WITCH companies hr's who don't care anything, they schedule and will ghost you.

These were my top picks.......

Share your experiences.......

better to not waste our time .......

I got selected for an internship recently on campus. It's been around 2 months and still no offer letter from their side. How long would it usually take?

Do we need to pay tax if RSUs are vested this year or QUALCOMM will handle paying taxes to indian government?

Hi everyone,

I have received an offer from Qualcomm India, Bangalore, for an Engineer, Senior role. The offer letter mentions eligibility for Qualcomm’s Annual Review Process, where salary increases, discretionary bonus, and RSU grants may be given. It also says that if the start date is after the eligibility cutoff, generally mid-July, the employee may not be eligible for that year’s AR.

I am planning to join in early July 2026. I wanted to understand from current/ex-Qualcomm India employees:

1. If someone joins before the mid-July cutoff, are they usually considered for that year’s annual review?
2. Is the salary increment generally prorated for new joiners?
3. What is the typical annual increment range for Qualcomm India engineering/R&D roles?
4. Are bonus and RSU refresh grants also considered in the first AR cycle, or usually only from the next full year?
5. Is there anything I should clarify with HR before joining?

I understand that increments are discretionary and depend on performance, team, budget, and company factors. I am looking for practical experience from people familiar with Qualcomm India’s process.

Is this the case with everyone? Do people just stay at Big Tech like QC for the money and the stocks and do a deal with the devil that they will do shitty work and/ or maybe with bad WLB?

I have always focused on being a better engineer and if this bad quality of work goes on, I might have to have to take bad harsh decision.

I would understand that people who decided to stay, it would have been tough:
- stock vesting
- increase in pay
- good benefits

But is bad work worth making this deal? Do people just stay for longer duration because they were risk averse, got too complacent, marriage etc? Why does it happen?
