      Career Growth and middle management review

      Staff engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The upper management is extremely good at seeing problems and fixing them before they become a major issue. They are very smart in how they handle the finances and the market. Overall a happy stable enviroment in an industry where there is so much turmoil

      Cons

      The middle management is extremely weak. So many old timers who were good or excellent engineers have been promoted to middle managers and they are doing a very poor job of managing the day to day activity and the engineers under them. This makes for a highly stressful and inefficient work environment on a day to day basis resulting in long hours for most engineers.

      Big company culture with steady growth

      Staff engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Qualcomm is the leader in wireless tech. Growth has been pretty steady. I think Qualcomm is very well positioned in the growing industry of wireless technology. The company is very innovative because of the talent it has gathered. To continue growth, Qualcomm has made a few bets by acquiring startups in emerging wireless tech.

      Cons

      Its a very large company. Without a vision of your own career progress, it is easy to lose yourself in the sea of workers.

      Unbalanced Departments

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very good work/life balance. Health Benefits are good. Some of the new groups have opportunities for growth. San Diego weather is awesome. If you want to join QCOM, look for groups working on emerging technologies.

      Cons

      Extremely challenging work environment with less career growth opportunities especially those working in very old departments in Qualcomm. Newer Technology group have good growth opportunities. Each department/ divisions have their own rules in terms of appraisals and promotions. Development and Core group employees have least career growth possible, Some Day this division will see high attritions. May be the senior management is greedy so they keep all the bonuses and promotions for themselves. Juniors Engineers are the worst hit.
