Pros

$, generous package to feed the family, bonus+stocks. Top tier wireless chipset company to learn, if you are working on electronics related career, carrying the name of 'Qualcomm' could bring you further in next career.

Cons

Lay off is alwayssss happening, no reason needed, low moral, as you don't know when you will be the next. Policy applies to non-VP levels, director or above only need to travel business class, 5 star lodging and please their line managers for not being laid off next round, I barely see their productivity, but only huge spending group.

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.
