Pros
Still better than many companies that one could work for - in a good industry, lots of smart people, fewer opportunities than before but still affords opportunities for people
Cons
Although Qualcomm is still probably better than many companies, it is far from what it used to be. The company seems to have lost its way in how it treats and supports its employee base. It used to provide a competitive pay and benefits package and had many leaders who were not only smart, but also just good people who put the needs of the team and company over their own self-interests. The pay and benefits packages are no longer competitive and the culture of the organization has definitely changed and not for the better as new leaders have been brought in or promoted. This isn't a reflection of the HR organization but rather a reflection of the entire executive management team.
