Pros

The upper management is extremely good at seeing problems and fixing them before they become a major issue. They are very smart in how they handle the finances and the market. Overall a happy stable enviroment in an industry where there is so much turmoil

Cons

The middle management is extremely weak. So many old timers who were good or excellent engineers have been promoted to middle managers and they are doing a very poor job of managing the day to day activity and the engineers under them. This makes for a highly stressful and inefficient work environment on a day to day basis resulting in long hours for most engineers.

Pros

Qualcomm is the leader in wireless tech. Growth has been pretty steady. I think Qualcomm is very well positioned in the growing industry of wireless technology. The company is very innovative because of the talent it has gathered. To continue growth, Qualcomm has made a few bets by acquiring startups in emerging wireless tech.

Cons

Its a very large company. Without a vision of your own career progress, it is easy to lose yourself in the sea of workers.
