Pros

Good salary and one of the best companies in San Diego (not a lot of other options if you live in SD).

Cons

Not the awesome company it used to be. It used to be an innovative company with top talent, however, with morale declining, continuous layout offs/restructuring, little or no career path and growth and mid level management, people are looking elsewhere. It's become an old, stale company. Merit has decrease - bonuses are basically non-existent even for top performers. Healthcare is expensive - huge difference when we went from amazing healthcare to horrible overnight. Too many drastic changes hit all at once rather than easing through the these transitions.

Pros

Great benefits, the pay is like okay. Some cool reimbursement programs and health centers on campus

Cons

Career progression and culture varies extremely depending on department. Some parts almost set you up for failure and it's difficult to gain new skills. Lots of qualcomm teams are too scared to explore new technologies and migrate to state of the art services and are comfortable in sticking with old technology for familiarity. Also, HR does nothing if a coworker makes you uncomfortable.
