Pros

Relatively good work/life balance. The offices/cubes people sit in are scattered, so your managers/colleagues won't notice what time you come in or leave.

Cons

Too much email communications or IMs. Since your colleagues/managers don't sit near you, they rely on emails/IMs so much and it is very inefficient. Composing a sentence and explaining things in email/IMs can take 5 times longer than normal.

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.
