Negative work life balance. Expect weekends and overnight calls. - Product Test Engineer Qualcomm Employee Review

- Product Test Engineering department is like a 24/7 grinder. Unless they grind you 24/7, Qualcomm will not be able to keep up with the demand for consumer chips which are in high demand. - You will only gain ATE tester experience. You will get cornered into ATE and your career will not have other possibilities and you will get stuck in production manufacturing environments. Even though Qualcomm makes cutting edge technology, as a product test engineer your knowledge will be constrained and you will gain no knowledge of design, architecture etc. - Great city to live in. But you will not have time to enjoy it. We got calls during weekends and also got calls around 3-4AM to resolve tester issues so that production will not stall. Qualcomm took no measures to arrange a night shift and if you don't answer the call, it will be noted in the system and you will get chopped eventually. - Professional employees. 90% of them are under the age of 30 and are Indian. It will be easier if you are Indian too.
