Pros

Very good benefits; seemingly capable senior management; workers have offices.

Cons

Lower salaries and small raises/bonuses with no explanation for the reasons behind them; doesn't promote fairness and respect among employees, very slow/ineffective in resolving employee personality issues/conflicts inside groups which allows the situation to affect performance of individuals other than goup; individuals having personal issues constantly allowed to display disruptful behavoir and play politically against others to get rid of those who she dislikes, such as getting other employees submit bad reviews and managers taking these reviews as truthful without getting to understand the situation better; employees promoted based on attributes other than their merit.

Pros

Being on the cutting edge of the wireless industry. You gain visibility into technologies and business decisions that will influence the rest of the world. Best employer in San Diego, which is a fantastic city to live in. There are really no other good chip design companies within SD... in fact it's hard to find other good technology companies in San Diego. Nothing compared to Irvine or Bay Area

Cons

QCT is not a great place to work. Most within QCT view themselves as "Quality Control Technicians". The culture needs to change and the engineers need to be better appreciated.
