Qualcomm intern Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Qualcomm as an intern for less than a year

Pros – Qualcomm is an extremely successful company that truly cares about it's employees and interns. The internship program is so strong that I immediately felt apart of the team and involved in each step of the way through the various projects I assisted them with. The people are friendly, smart, driven and fun.

Cons – The only reason I would not recommend Qualcomm to somebody is if they were not passionate about wireless technology and the big advances occurring in the industry, or if they weren't keen on the big corporate feel.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Pros – The Tangibles

Competitive Pay and Great Benefits

Free housing, Great Company-Wide Events, free food, free soda and drinks, coffee, on campus cafeteria, gym-- the list goes on and on.

Intangibles

Absolutely fantastic coworkers. Some of the best friends I have to this very day.
Everyone I came across was extremely friendly, intelligent, and hard-working.

Cons – There was an impossible lack of communication and cooperation between departments.

Work seemed menial and pointless at times. Often the tasks given to Finance Interns was un-rewarding and processor-level activities.

Advice to Senior Management – It's an engineering company-- through and through. But give the Finance Interns a rewarding role in which they have a manager who is willing to go to bat for them

Overall, this is a dead-end for finance interns.
