Pros

They pay an acceptable wage, erm they have tea and coffee facilities and toilets

Cons

No work life balance, middle management are a bunch of yes men, work was frustrating and largely unrewarding, Qualcomm only happy when all its employees are having mental breakdowns or divorces. They have managed through IPR and sharp practice to put all other mobility vendors out of business. Telecoms is now effectively a monopoly with Qualcomm holding all to ransom. Farnborough site of QCT is one of the most depressing places I've ever worked.
