      Pros

      - Most of us get an office with a door - Great access to very current technology - Plenty of places to park - Friendly people in the halls - Looks great on a resume

      Cons

      - Uncompetitive salaries - pay is mediocre at best - Poor benefits, bad health coverage - Low morale - NO JOB SECURITY - Stagnant management; not a lot of advancement opportunity - No raises in 18+ months - Culture is "Work long hours, keep your head down, don't ask questions, be glad you didn't get laid off."

      It is a shame that Irwin Jacobs has to watch idiots wreck what he built

      Pros

      Flexible schedules that allow for time off for various family commitments Great benefits (this actually died in 2016 when the plan was changed to a Bronze level) There are a lot of really talented and intelligent folks here...you have a great opportunity to learn a lot

      Cons

      Company will bring H1-B or L1-B employees to the USA to fill positions that current US staff are more than qualified to fill... People in leadership roles that have no business holding such a position LOUSY team culture!! This is a shame as once it was quite a bit different... Limited direction from management as to potential paths to proceed, but the same management is very quick to assign blame when projects go awry. Inability to listen to customer requirements and adequately understand decisive next steps. Too many relatives of senior management are hired with little to no experience

      People who work the most are not rewarded

      Pros

      Qualcomm offers a very good environment for work. If you want to learn, it is a good place.

      Cons

      Once management realizes that you work hard and are eager to contribute and excel in your career, they will not promote you but will instead keep you in your current level with a hanging bait that you need to do more to get to that next level you deserve for a long time. There are many people on higher levels who don't work nearly half as much as you do, yet they continue to get promotions and are paid 2x more. That is why this company is not going to last long.
