Pros

Great benefits and profit sharing. Very cutting edge technology and tremendously intelligent workforce. Exellent work life balance. Ridiculously good weather.

Cons

San Diego is expensive. Big company makes it easy to get lost in the shuffle. Long time mediocre employees are sometimes promoted to a level of supreme incompetence.

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.
