Great benefits but you often times will feel like a cog in a big machine

Software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits. Every building has a gym and most managers are nice

Cons

Too large a company, I used to feel like a small cog in a big machine Qualcomm lacks structure. If you have worked at a process driven company it takes time to understand how things function. Qualcomm is also an old boys club. If you know someone higher up or have been there for years and are well connected you will not have a problem, otherwise you are going to remain where you are. if you stay at QCOM for several years then eventually some of the stock options will be worth money.

Your work at Qualcomm

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

See your projects quickly become a product in the market.

Cons

No life outside work, not much of intellectual growth. Since products need to come to the market quickly, most of the time you don't end up developing anything new. Minor technical changes are required to commercialize these products. If you have a bent for learning new ideas, this is not the place. If you want to work like a machine and be happy with the benefits, then this is the place.
