Pros

Probably none that I can think of.

Cons

Worst job i have ever had in my life. Pigeonholed into bench testing with no technical depth or future. Constantly treated bad by upper management. Total waste of time and skills. I hope the economy gets better so I can leave.

Pros

Great benefits, the pay is like okay. Some cool reimbursement programs and health centers on campus

Cons

Career progression and culture varies extremely depending on department. Some parts almost set you up for failure and it's difficult to gain new skills. Lots of qualcomm teams are too scared to explore new technologies and migrate to state of the art services and are comfortable in sticking with old technology for familiarity. Also, HR does nothing if a coworker makes you uncomfortable.
