Pros

Great place to learn. Great place to work with best and brightest technical people. Very stable and successful company. Great benefits.

Cons

Most of the management consists of former engineers who are not necessarily good managers. Weak performance review and coaching system. Weak project management. Extremely big place. Lot of fat in the organization. Most senior places are taken by long-timers and hence small opportunities for long term career growth. Sometimes negelct work-life balance

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.
