      QCT Leads the Pack

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      When given the choice between designing the brain or the body, Qualcomm CDMA Technologies, a.k.a. QCT, chose to design the brain. As a result, Qualcomm and QCT design hardware and software for every discipline and standard imaginable; CDMA, WCDMA, BREW, video, audio, displays, etc. QCT is a meritocracy and the system is designed to give equal access to opportunities to both current and potential employees.

      Cons

      Hard to call it a direct criticism of QCT, but the communication semiconductor business is hyper competitive on an international level and there is relentless market pressure to reduce margins. To make a good ROI you have to be in front of the competition with novel products/services that capture a premium. There is also little brand awareness outside the industry, making semiconductor companies, in general, subject to nearly continual treadmill-like activity that can sometimes seem like a race with out a finish line.

      Qualcomm - strives for greatness in San Diego.

      Staffing specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great group of people to work with, both as peers and in management. Qualcomm seems to treat ALL of their employees with respect no matter their position or title within the company. Surrounded by the BEST engineering minds in the United States, if not the world. Incredible benefits, continued technology education and good work life balance. They also look to employees for constant feedback on how to improve and stay on top of our industry.

      Cons

      Salaries could be improved upon to help with the high cost of living in San Diego.
