Business Outlook

Pros

Free drinks in the break room. Catered lunch meetings. Free on site gym.

Cons

Confidence in the company has eroded as the smartphone market reached maturity. Canceled raises and bonuses in the spring. No guarantees fall will bring anything. As expected, attrition is the result, as good engineers are leaving, and the mediocre ones are staying.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent colleagues depending on the team. Awesome location (San Diego).

Cons

The recent layoffs were very poorly handled. Good performers were let go while all the deadwood continue to remain. Poor compensation compared to the industry. Poor health benefits from the next year. Promotion dependent on the number of years spent rather than the performance. In summary, come to Qualcomm only if you have no other alternative.
