Pros

* Good sick/vacation time policies for professional-level employees (different policies for admin, entry level, etc.), on-site doctor's office at HQ * Numerous activities for employees (movies in the auditorium, discounts from theme parks, summer lunchtime events) * Top tech company to work for in San Diego

Cons

* Work-life balance means they add fun things to your 40+ hrs/week and expectation of reading e-mail 7 days a week, day and night * Some groups are better, more functional, more enjoyable than others

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.
