Pros

Formerly, arguably the best company in the world to work for. Excellent benefits, salary, bonuses, career growth opportunities, and supporting management.

Cons

Career growth opportunities and promotions have stagnated. Plus, there is a pay freeze and the cash bonus pool = zilch; yet, employees are still expected to dedicate nights and weekends to the company. Management seems to be indifferent to losing key talent to competitors.

Pros

Great benefits, the pay is like okay. Some cool reimbursement programs and health centers on campus

Cons

Career progression and culture varies extremely depending on department. Some parts almost set you up for failure and it's difficult to gain new skills. Lots of qualcomm teams are too scared to explore new technologies and migrate to state of the art services and are comfortable in sticking with old technology for familiarity. Also, HR does nothing if a coworker makes you uncomfortable.
