Pros

You get to work on cool leading tech in many industries

Cons

The way the company deals with employees is very bad, you are a resource and the moment they do not need you, you are cut out. last year due to the company not meeting targets they laid off more than 2000 employees to cut cost although the reason for the profit lose had nothing to do with employees. The laid-off employees got very handsome severance packages while the hard workers were keept and did not even get their salary review or increase due to "budget" .. what message is Qualcomm sending out here?? be lazy and you'll get a fat chunky check, but if you are a hard worker you get nothing!!

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.
