Pros

Actually present environment has changed much. Now Qualcomm is also like other medium paying companies. Pros - 1. you can file your ideas in portal and if it's unique company will apply for a patent grant and you will get some benefit as well. 2. 110 rs. daily free food 3. Adequate medical insurance 4. Team outings

Cons

1. Bureaucracy and politics 2. Management is so crude and no matter how talented you are and how much you work. They will promote you only after completing 3 years and more. 3. Yearly review cycle and that's also not sure how much hike you will get as it depends on overall earnings which are shrinking year by year in competitive mobile chipset market. 4. Huge work load. you take one week leave and management thinks you were not working from last 6 months. 5. Learning areas are very shrink and regular work load is more. which will make you tire and unfit to outside world job market. 6. Most of the teams has no coding work, So you will forget all the programming knowledge and while looking for new job, you will have to study all your programming basics again. 7. Telugu speaking people are benefited specially in Hyderabad location

Pros

You live in San Diego.

Cons

Too stressful! HR has been trying to improve work life balance but the culture is suffering from the vicious circle. If you don't work late night and weekends your review and bonus suffers. Despite the lip service "we must reward productivity and not long hours". Too many a holes are being promoted despite the CEO's claim "we don't promote a-holes". HR does not protect the individuals from retaliation from higher ups unless where the retaliation might create legal problems (e.g. sexual harassment)
