      Competitive, Innovative Company

      Administrative supervisor

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great amenities for work-life balance, including company leisure events and cafes. Friendly and casual atmosphere.

      Cons

      Pushes business and innovation to please shareholders, investors, and to stay ahead of competitors yet continues to reduce work force; adding more work with less people year after year. Used to be people-oriented, people-valued extraordinary company. Now it is an ordinary company that is entirely business driven. That equates to higher employment turn over rates.

      Senior Staff Engineer/Manager

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Leading position in technology. Used to have good benefit and opportunities but is vanishing quickly.

      Cons

      Getting worse in recent years. Inhuman project managers. Unrealistic schedule and do-whatever-to-meet-deadline attitude. Team sacrifice family time and weekend/holidays to meet unrealistic schedule.

      Negative work life balance. Expect weekends and overnight calls.

      Pros

      - You will gain ATE tester experience. - Great city to live in. - Professional employees.

      Cons

      - Product Test Engineering department is like a 24/7 grinder. Unless they grind you 24/7, Qualcomm will not be able to keep up with the demand for consumer chips which are in high demand. - You will only gain ATE tester experience. You will get cornered into ATE and your career will not have other possibilities and you will get stuck in production manufacturing environments. Even though Qualcomm makes cutting edge technology, as a product test engineer your knowledge will be constrained and you will gain no knowledge of design, architecture etc. - Great city to live in. But you will not have time to enjoy it. We got calls during weekends and also got calls around 3-4AM to resolve tester issues so that production will not stall. Qualcomm took no measures to arrange a night shift and if you don't answer the call, it will be noted in the system and you will get chopped eventually. - Professional employees. 90% of them are under the age of 30 and are Indian. It will be easier if you are Indian too.
