Pros

Generally, employees are treated with respect. The benefit package is excellent. Qualcomm's engineering organization is very good.

Cons

Qualcomm's business outlook doesn't look good. What if Apple diversifies to Intel? What if Apple starts making its own baseband chips? It is hard to understand what Qualcomm looks like 3 years from now.

Pros

Good benefits. Able to work alongside some of the brightest engineers in the field.

Cons

Work life balance is nonexistent. Stocks, bonuses, and merit increases get worse each year. More hours are expected each week without the compensation to make up for it. People are getting burned out.
