Pros

Qualcomm is a very inspiring company that works on new technologies, but is also able to provide a high level of research in the area of cellular networks.

Cons

PhDs are preferable. All the big departments are in the USA. In order to get a full time position the interviews are hard.

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.
