      Alot of Negativity and Politics amongst very smart people

      Modem systems test engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Get to work with very smart people who always try to improve the tech -Work on tech that is 2 years in advance of whats in the market -They have good tech classes and lectures for learning other tech

      Cons

      -Massive amount of politics. Read the other reviews. Middle to top management has alot of politics. -Abhoring work-life balance. Used to work atleast 10 hours per day -If you want to get promoted, you need to work atleast 12 hours every day and show to management that you are always working i.e. emails on weekend, late night emails etc -People working from the mid to late 90s are just taking status reports on work and passing it in a nice excel or power point format to top management. They need to be laid off. They have zero technical contributions.

      Slow degradation of a great company

      It engineer, staff
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work with highly talented people. Your skill set will improve and strengthen. Produce a product that will touch billions of people throughout the world. A great company to have on your resume.

      Cons

      Internal job opportunities are available, but rarely completed. From the time I started until the day I left, the company was completely different. The vision and direction was no longer there. Qualcomm is considered to be one of the most innovating and forward thinking companies in the world. Unfortunately, that opinion is slowly eroding.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice facilities Good benefits, although this is getting worse in 2016 High end technology

      Cons

      Extremely political environment Promotions are only given to those in the inner click Unreasonable deadlines leading to a very stressful environment Very long work hours and no work life balance Incompetent middle management, as a result of the politicized promotions process Company losing competitive edge What company gives $95 millions to the CEO when it is losing market share and its stock is severely underperforming
