      99% politics, 1% actual engineering

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - medical benefits. - many onsite technology lectures.

      Cons

      - lower than average compensation in terms of salary and stocks. - too much emphasis on political gains by directors/managers rather than emphasizing on actual engineering work. - nobody is willing to make critical decisions when it comes to risk management and setting priorities. - no specific promotion guideline, it's mostly dependent on personal relationships with upper management rather than actual contributions. - competent engineers keep leaving after getting fed up with too much politics.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fair compensation. Great stock plan.

      Cons

      The business acumen of Qualcomm has not been the same since Rich Sulpizio and Harvey White left. Paul Jacobs is very intelligent but has no business experience outside of Qualcomm. He is a brilliant Products guy (think Steve Jobs) but needs better business operations people below him who can provide leadership and direction to the masses. HR just phones it in. Too many "resting and vesting" at all levels. Senior levels are more concerned with keeping their elite status than building a business and leading the people.
