      Great place to work

      Staff hardware engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Qualcomm really cares about its employees. I feel like my work is appreciated and that I have a direct impact to the bottom line of the company. Qualcomm is also pretty flexible with work/life balance in that if I need to work remotely to get things done, it is pretty easy.

      Cons

      We do go through our "crunch times" where we are expected to put in a little more time than the normal week. This seems to be the case for anywhere, and at Qualcomm it's not nearly as bad as what I have seen at others places.

      Slow growth or no growth

      Senior engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits Social life There a lot of activities to do if you get time to do them. The medical and dental is good, so is 401K. RSU structure is not great. The rest is ok, not great.

      Cons

      Where do I start? Long hours for meager peanuts in return. Your growth in the company depends on which group you are in and how much you suck it up to your boss. Some part of it is true for any company, but, my time at QC went downhill because of the group I was in. Most groups donot allow you to try new things without dinging you for it. My professional life was just stagnant for a long time until I quit. Life has never been better since I joined another company.

      Great company!

      Software engineer

      Pros

      Great benefits, competitive pay, good people, and a unique company structure and culture that sets things apart from other companies of similar size.

      Cons

      Not as small a company as it once was (the small company culture is not as prevalent as it used to be), some groups are much better than others to work for, managers often have too much individual leeway with reviews when it is rare you actually work directly with your manager.
