Pros

The training material and courses offered are excellent. The technology I worked on was cutting edge.

Cons

My contribution to my team and organization was tremendous yet I was not rewarded or recognized proportionally until after I gave my notice to leave. AR process is a nitpicking contest. Compensation for high performers is bottom of the industry. Promotions are heavily political and middle managers are useless. Any event can be used against you.

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.
