      Somewhat dissatisfied

      Pros

      Benefits and professional learning opportunities are above par, and unmatched within the San Diego area. Great health benefits, world class speakers are brought in for employees to hear.

      Cons

      Middle management and senior management are not always aligned. Promotions are not fair, even if you execute successfully on projects you may not get recognized, if your supervisor does not like you.

      Pros

      Good health benefits and stock purchase discount. Good gym, lot of celebrations, lots of lunch meetings (free food). There are plenty of technical courses that will enable you to keep up to date professionally. There are a lot of non work related mailing lists that you can join for areas of your interest. If you get the right assignment work can be interesting and cutting edge when it comes to the industry peers.

      Cons

      Qualcomm organisation lacks structure. If you have worked at a process driven company it takes time to understand how things function. Qualcomm is also an old boys club. If you know someone higher up or have been there for years and are well connected you will not have a problem, otherwise you are going to remain where you are. if you stay at QCOM for several years then eventually some of the stock options will be worth money.

      QUALCOMM is a ZOO!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Leading edge technology and opportunity for acquiring technical knowledge

      Cons

      Extremely long hours, rude and lousy middle and senior-level management (Dir, VP & Sr. VP level), chaotic, lack of processes, go-with-the-crowd-attitude, do not appreciate out-of-the-box thinking, don't give credit when credit is due, nepotism is in full effect! It doesn't matter if you are completely incompetent, as long as you know a senior-level manager, you will get in and you will have the doers working under you to do the job so that you can take the credit for it.
