Pros

Great pay, smart people, good benefits, nice campus, interesting work, growing company for next few years of keep handful of customers.

Cons

I have never worked at a place where management was so lazy, dysfunctional, incompetent. All they want to do is hide in meetings and kill any innovative ideas.

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.
