      Pros

      They pay an acceptable wage, erm they have tea and coffee facilities and toilets

      Cons

      No work life balance, middle management are a bunch of yes men, work was frustrating and largely unrewarding, Qualcomm only happy when all its employees are having mental breakdowns or divorces. They have managed through IPR and sharp practice to put all other mobility vendors out of business. Telecoms is now effectively a monopoly with Qualcomm holding all to ransom. Farnborough site of QCT is one of the most depressing places I've ever worked.

      Was OK, it's just going to be downhill from now.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Pay is average. Was a stable safe company. Stock awards were good for the top performers. Was nice travelling to San Diego from time to time.

      Cons

      I get ashamed of how rubbish and technically incompetent are some of the managers, don't understand how they were ever promoted. That doesn't speak very high of the top managers. Executive management think they understand the market, they obviously don't, they have been negligent at best. The environment is pretty toxic, nobody cares about anybody, you need to put your limits and set the expectations right from the first day or face being exploited. The company is focusing into moving most teams to India, low quality but will work for peanuts and long hours, I am sure Qualcomm will learn the hard way, just rubbish will come out of the India projects, there is no innovation.
