Qualcomm reviews

matrix organization, too many level of managemnt, too many politics, aftects the work and the communications

The culture is absolutely terrible. Within my team, turnover was more than 50% last year. People dropped like flies. Why? Because management only cares about meeting its numbers. They do not care if they kill their staff in the process of doing so, by making them work insane hours and jump through hoops just to meet expectations. As long as they hit their goals and look good in front of their managers, they're happy. Management will lie to you about promotion potential from day 1 (interviews). They will keep dangling the potential to be promoted in front of you, just to get you to work harder for them. In the end, you (along with many others who were promised the same thing) will be sorely disappointed. I joined the company thinking it would be great, that it was the best place to work in San Diego, but trust me, it's not worth the pain, sweat, and tears to have the "Qualcomm" name on your resume.
