Pros

A very fast paced startup culture, which is good and bad. Good: you learn a lot from trying to apply new design concepts.

Cons

Bad: Very aggressive (unrealistic?) deadlines that need to be met while trying to apply concepts that you have just learned.

Great company to work for; but limits on personal growth opportunities

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, smart people, industry leader, well-run company. This is a great place if you want to be in an established, efficiently-run company.

Cons

For engineers, it can be difficult to expand to non-engineering areas, since this is discouraged. Also, Qualcomm will no longer be as dominant in the future as it was with CDMA, but it's diversifying its portfolio.
