Qualcomm Software Engineer interview: 30-question screen and DSA threshold

My process began with a multiple-choice screen of 30 questions. I needed at least 50% correct to move on, so the threshold was clear from the start.

The next step was a technical screen on algorithms and data structures. I worked through classic sorting-style material, including moving all zeros to the end of an array, along with other DSA questions based on common algorithm patterns.

It felt straightforward but gated by that early score. If I lost points there, I would not get past the threshold. I did not receive an offer, although the questions felt learnable once I knew what they were testing. The bar still made the round feel high stakes.

Location: India. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
