Might be a good company to start for semi-conductor, but useless for Software People

Associate engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1) Decent pay, as per industry standards 2) Good food, available almost all time 3) Ample time for freshers to ramp-up to have stable start in career. 4) Decent work-life balance for some teams.

Cons

1) Majority of good people are leaving the company 2) Semi-annual appraisal cycle (a major pro of Qualcomm over others), changed to annual. 3) Team allocation of freshers is bogus. Looks like they simply do random-shuffle. 4) HR dept doesn't seem to be active at work. (I got relieving letter, after 1 month of leaving company causing lot of trouble in my new company)
