Pros

Competitive base salary. Better if you work in San Diego HQ.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy, corp politics, and structure slowing down innovation and new business growth. Health care benefit plans has recently changed. It used be no out-of-pocket. Now for a family of four, you may $100s per month. <1000 credit for deductibles. It's a new/horrible complicated system that will not keep Qualcomm competitive to attract new employees. A lot of budget cuts in the recent years slowing down progress. Layoffs in the 2015. Cut bonuses and stocks extensively. In general an old-fashion company who hasn't caught up with time when providing for employees. Personally, I think having offices of every employee is a waste of real-estate and prohibits collaboration.

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Cons

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
