      Pros

      Pretty good company if you want to work at a Fortune 100 company. They love to tout that as a reason to sign on with them. The benefits package is very good as far as healthcare goes. But the stock options are also usually given to new employees. Check the market to see what those are worth.

      Cons

      Salaries are lower than the rest of the industry. The "you should be glad you work here we're a Fortune 100 company" predominates. Management is completely clueless. They build products and have no idea how to bill for them or if there is even a market for them. Lot's of poor planning resulting in ill defined last minute projects. Your expected to work at least 60 hours a week for weeks on end. As an exempt employee you end up working for near half salary. Look elsewhere unless you like 60+ hour weeks and not seeing your family. The stock options are worthless and the stock hasn't risen in years. Stay out of QUALCOMM Enterprise Services, that business unit is dying on the vine it is just a shrt matter of time before they cut that unit loose to flounder on it's own.

      Pros

      You get to work on great products that are used by people all over the world. The benefits are very good and very competitive. It is good to have a private office and plenty of computing resources. You can't beat being so close to the ocean.

      Cons

      It is such a large company, you can get a little bit lost staying in just your own group. San Diego is too expensive and there is too much traffic.
