Pros

. Fast pace of work and broad technology innovation, honest/upright executive management. . Opportunity to do business with with a rich set of customers worldwide. . Great set of talented employees worldwide who are willing to learn and contribute. . Among non-management employees - open atmosphere, constructive criticism is encouraged

Cons

. Virtually 24-hour work cycle due to dense product roadmap and worldwide customer base. . Difficulty of commercializing new technologies is often underestimated . Product lifecycle is not managed as effectively as it can be: e.g. new products are added without considering the sustained/continued growth of existing products (and resources required for sustaining vs. designing new products). . Hardware and Software leverage from existing products can be improved considerably.

Pros

The benefits package includes full health coverage for your whole family. The additional benefits provided by HR make life enjoyable. The company allows a perfect balance of life and work, with very flexible schedules. The work environment is relaxed. You can wear shorts, sandals, etc. in an engineering position. The atmosphere resembles a college campus. The weather in San Diego along with the diversity in workforce make the days enjoyable.

Cons

There are many employees who have been at QUALCOMM for many years and have senior managment positions. They are not necessarily competent, but stay employed because of their seniority. This makes advancement difficult.
