I'm going to provide as much detail as possible so that everyone can understand how poor Qualcomm is in recruiting, hiring, and how they treat people with so low dignity.
I applied to Qualcomm back in September as it has been a company that I have been targeting since I graduated college. My first interview was in December. Although the process was slow, I didn't think anything of it at that point in time as it just was an application that I sent out and didn't invest too much in. If I got the job, that's fine, and if not, that's fine as well.
Then, after the December interview, I was ghosted for two whole months until out of nowhere, I got a call for a second interview. This was a surprise as I didn't think I got the job, however, I was disappointed as every time I would follow up, I would be ghosted and I would hear no communication. This is only the beginning of being treated like garbage.
After the second interview (which I believed went quite well) yet again, I was ghosted for a whole two months no matter what sort of follow up I gave, showing that Qualcomm has a clear lack of empathy or care for prospective employees. After the two months of being ghosted, out of nowhere, they reached out asking me to reapply under a title which was lesser than the title that I interviewed for. Same job, same responsibilities, 20k less pay. I didn't make too much of it as I was shooting high in the initial application, but I now see that this was yet another reason why Qualcomm doesn't care for prospective employees. After I applied to the position, I yet again was ghosted. This process has lasted 8 months at this point in time. After a few phone calls, multiple emails asking why this process was taking so long, I finally got my rejection email.
I don't know where the bottleneck is, but I have to be honest in stating that I truly did like Qualcomm as a company, but now, after seeing how they treat prospective employees, it indeed makes me sick.
All of the work, worry, preparation, time, concern, research, follow up, and hope that I had to work at a company that I truly loved since I got my first phone with a Qualcomm product inside of it, all was wasted and thrown away.
I'm not writing this out of personal spite for the company, not out of discontent that I didn't get the position, but instead, I'm writing this because of how much I was wanting to know that Qualcomm would have regard for people, but unfortunately, that didn't turn out to be the case.
