Worst interview experience
Recently I interviewed for a Software role at Qualcomm. The interview was virtual. In total I had to go through 5 technical rounds and there was 1 director round at the end. They asked me c++ questions, leetcode medium problems, and some concurrency related questions. They went fairly deep with the questions. In the entire process the communication was very bad. For any update, I had to communicate with the HR. They never updated me with the results. All these rounds were scheduled when I contacted the HR about the update of the previous round. The response I would get was that the team has scheduled another round and you'll get the invite. So I went through every round like this. Eventually I completed the last round(6th one). Nobody contacted me. So I contacted the HR(like I was doing after every previous round). The HR told me the response wasn't positive from the last round. The HR said the team thought I wasn't a good fit for the role(If you require 6 interview rounds to check if someone is fit for the role or not, then you are simply bad at the job). At that point I just wanted to get over this torture of a process to be really honest. Reading that message was so upsetting for me. There are more insights about this whole situation, but they're better not to be made public. Anyone applying for roles at Qualcomm India, this is the stuff you'll go through.
