Pros

Leadership in their industry Rock stars at the very top of the house encourage creativity

Cons

Mid to Senior level managers are from the land of misfit toys If your not driving value for core chip business, highly unlikely bold ideas will ever be funded or implemented

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.
