Pros

Some divisions are better than others. QCT is a good place to work because it generate consistent cash for the company. QIS, MediaFlo and other divisions are not as good because the respective businesses are not doing well. Excellent healthcare plan. Good vacation package. For most part you can expect a stable work environment and surrounded by generally high quality people.. Consistent pay raises

Cons

bonuses are erratic. Stock options are not worth much nowadays. So unless the company gives RSU's the compensation package is not very attractive. attrition rate is very low so there is a glut of managers who dont have enough work to do. this is leading to a politically charged environment
