Pros

-Benefits are above average -Qualcomm is an industry leader in a growing industry -Flexability in work hours -A lot of intelligent collegues

Cons

-There can be a lot of bureaucracy for a company that prides itself on its start-up roots -Decisions tend to be made slowly and in consensus (instead of mid-level management showing leadership) -For those outside of engineering, there are few others within your job function at the company

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.
