Pros

It's a good workplace from technical pov. You get to work on the cutting edge before the competitors. You have access to all tools. In my division the flow (setup) was very pervasive. Your colleagues are also very sound technically and helpful too.

Cons

Very bad work-life balance. Because of the flow (setup) you had very little wiggle room to learn about the underlying processes and tinker with them

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.
