Pros

Qualcomm is a great place to work for. Cutting edge technology, industry leader and most of the control by sitting on top of the chain.

Cons

QIS: Worst division in Qualcomm. In last 3 years there is no growth. Employees are not being productive. Corporate game of power is going on of reaching to the senior/very senior level. Some very technically incompetent people are reaching senior level and that spoils the whole game. Salary and Bonus : I think most of the employees are not satisfied with their salary and bonus. Stock option is no more an attraction as we all know last couple of years performance.

Pros

Great benefits, the pay is like okay. Some cool reimbursement programs and health centers on campus

Cons

Career progression and culture varies extremely depending on department. Some parts almost set you up for failure and it's difficult to gain new skills. Lots of qualcomm teams are too scared to explore new technologies and migrate to state of the art services and are comfortable in sticking with old technology for familiarity. Also, HR does nothing if a coworker makes you uncomfortable.
