      Chaotic environment, non-stop firefighting, and back-stabbing managers

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - the wireless market is hot - technology driven - employees are nice to work with

      Cons

      - the place is chaotic with lack of clear direction and leadership - there are many good manager and as many or more bad managers - senior leadership does not really know what's going on at lower level - people that are contributing are ignored and the ones that don't do work get promoted/recognized - a lot of fire-fighting with no clear project schedule or strategy - watch out for back-stabbing managers that will sacrifice their employees for their own advancements and agendas

      Qualcomm is a large, but smoothly running organization.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Qualcomm is a large, but smoothly running organization. Management has a very progressive outlook on wireless technology and is not adverse to trying new ideas. As an individual engineer, you and your work are respected. Projects are not 'overcrowded' and 90% of engineers have their own office. Also, the company realizes that the most talented engineers have the option of working elsewhere. For that reason performance reviews occur once every 6 months. The average raise is 3 - 5% (every 6 months!). It is common for engineers to move around within the organization. The company provides a mechanism for new learning and for movement to different areas of the technology.

      Cons

      The company is essentially a massive IP portfolio that covers many different areas of technology. Occasionally one can feel disconnected from the rest of the organization.
