Cons

Qualcomm has always been a beacon of innovation, attracting incredibly talented individuals and offering a wealth of supportive and groundbreaking projects. The environment used to be one where hard work and creativity were recognized and rewarded, contributing to a vibrant and productive culture. Lately, however, the atmosphere has shifted. The rise in office politics has made it increasingly difficult for individual achievements to shine through. Remote work, while flexible, has introduced challenges in maintaining a healthy work-life balance, with late-night calls and meetings becoming the norm. This has made it tough to disconnect and recharge, impacting personal time and overall well-being. Moreover, there’s a growing trend towards relocating projects to the India team and layoffs for cost-saving reasons. While understanding the financial aspects of business decisions, this move raises concerns about the long-term implications on quality and team dynamics.
