Pros

College like atmosphere with a lot of smart people looking to learn and grow. I've been there for 13 years and have great appreciation for what they company has done for me and the wireless industry.

Cons

A bit disorganized at times, takes on for commitments then staffed for. Management changes and frequent, small scale layoffs are all part of the job.

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.
