Anyone recently interviewed with Qualcomm for ML engineer role? I have a interview coming up in few and would appreciate some pointers :)
Why does Qualcomm need ML?
ML is a pet project. The whole company is focusing on 5G. I don’t think it’s worth moving to Qualcomm for a job in ML. Also, company morale and compensation is sub par. The benefits aren’t that great either. I’d recommend you stay at Microsoft or search somewhere else.
I used to work at Qualcomm a while back (when they had a Corp R&D group which might not exist in that form anymore) on computer vision & machine learning related areas. From my experience it was a very tertiary focus in the company unless things have changed drastically. Every member of my team that I knew of have left Qualcomm a while back. For ML related roles, Microsoft (where you currently are) should have lots of projects and qualified people with strong ML background. Perhaps you can explore that option first!
Hi OP! Hope everything went well. How was your interview? What's the diffculty level of LCs asked?
why Qualcomm?
Because he didn’t leetcode enough
Coming from a Intel guy? :/
