Pros

Good work life balance Decent perks Amazing peers (atleast the ones that are still here)

Cons

Pay is sub-par in the current market (even after the recent 5% hike gimmick across India). HR and senior management are well aware of this, but couldn't care less. Level of innovation isn't what it used to be. This, combined with the salary, is driving the smart people out. People are getting 100% hikes elsewhere. Another minor thing: food sucks. Big time. It's worse than what I had in my hostel during my time as a student in college.

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.
