      Pros

      Very dynamic and fast paced work environment. Collegues are very competent and work long hours. Benefits package is good. Vast majority of folks have their own private office (instead of cube). Management is honest and ethical. Not a whole lot of politics or bickering that I am aware of amonst the rank and file. Review process is quite fair and open and happens every 6months. Lot of visibility at upper management level in terms of who is working on what and hence, definitely not a place for slackers to go and hide somewhere.

      Cons

      Not much in terms of career growth and promotions are hard to get. Merely being brilliant is not enough. Be ready to put in the extra effort if you want to go to the next level.

      Stable company with good benefits

      Pros

      Stable company with strong balance sheet. Benefits are very good with 2 tiers based on your position. Lots on push on innovation by getting into adjacent markets but not yet materialized into revenue streams. QCT and Licensing division are the crown jewels bringing in 90% + of the revenue and profits.

      Cons

      Company has become top heavy. Too many Directors and above. Decision making authority resides only in higher management levels. Relentless focus on execution at QCT, know folks who routinely work 12+ hour days.

      Very good mix of roses and thorns.

      Pros

      Great benefits, and resources, senior people are fairly well compensated. Lot of interesting work, great colleagues, good diversity, strong industry presence, sustained competitive advantage.

      Cons

      Company is becoming too large, and top heavy. I feel there is a fair amount of dead wood, some house cleaning would be useful. Engineers have relatively little room for lateral movements. Lots of duplication. Would like product management, marketing to be more competent. Stock price has been up and down over the last 10 years, but relatively flat (or even down), some competitors did better. The management can be very agressive in goals, w/o backing up with resources. This creates a lot stress on the team. However, this varies from division to division. QCT (CDMA Technologies) is the busiest place to work at, but also the safest in terms of job security.
