Pros

Some smart engineers you work with and can learn from. Potentially interesting work. Decent benefits.

Cons

Company has changed from early years.. more corporate, competitive, political. Some bad managers are there (i.e. technically capable people who should not be managers). Can be bureaucratic and/or clique-ish, your experience will depend on which group you are part of.. my group was a dead end and another group had people promoted once or twice or even more.. then I decided to leave :-)

Pros

- Management is competent and encourages growth in employees and businesses. - No micro-managing of your time on the job or how you will do it. - Broad goals are set and you are encouraged to meet them creatively. - Lots of opportunity to develop new IP, file patents, develop really innovative products. - Pay is very good and opportunities for advancement are high. Pay adjustments and bonuses are given twice per year. - Benefits are very good too. 100% family premiums for health, dental, some vision, etc. - At my site (Raleigh, NC), there's a really great gym in the building.

Cons

- There's a lot of pressure to succeed and continually improve (which could be good or bad).

Pros

The money is alright if you want to work 60+ hours a week full throttle.

Cons

Managers take credit for the work of others while asking them to do more and more work. Qualcomm doesn't care about their employees as much as they used to.
