Pros

- Training videos are good.

Cons

- Worst Manager, calls on late night for non-imp issues. Knows less technically and give impossible deadlines without communication. - Work life balance is near to zero. If you argue then answer is like, here we work like this only. - Manager don't answer or help in working hours and always pretend to be in meeting. Even after joining in any call, he tells half thing and goes on hold for other meeting. This happens almost everyday. - They prefer that you will be available 24x7 . If you are offline in night then they will WhatsApp you/call you immediately like they have project ending on next morning. -Senior team support is zero, politics on blaming and assigning issues to 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.
