Pros

Good reward, training, and advancement opportunities for the most part. Pretty amazing wireless technology developed via IPR and silicon for cellular, computing, and consumer devices.

Cons

Unfortunately, Qualcomm is undergoing major RIF due to competition, over hiring, and poor cost control. A painful time and the good folks going out the door with underachievers. Perhaps now over-focusing on profit margins, the silicon roadmap under some pressure from top and bottom competitors. This has lead to fearful atmosphere, politically charged, as everyone puts their shields up.

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Cons

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
