Pros

They provide really good benefits. They also provide the option for flex accounts, and matching 401k. Provides training opportunities. You will learn a lot working with the smart people here.

Cons

Not enough team building activities. Not enough communication between teams. Long hours and stressful/aggressive schedules. Compensation is not very competitive given the cost of living. Also it may be hard or impossible to go to work and school at the same time, since you have aggressive schedules to meet. If you happen to be going to school while working here, expect that your career growth will be very slow during the time you are in school. You will not be given critical task and assignments which allows you to shine/move forward in your career path.

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.
