Pros

Qualcomm really cares about its employees. I feel like my work is appreciated and that I have a direct impact to the bottom line of the company. Qualcomm is also pretty flexible with work/life balance in that if I need to work remotely to get things done, it is pretty easy.

Cons

We do go through our "crunch times" where we are expected to put in a little more time than the normal week. This seems to be the case for anywhere, and at Qualcomm it's not nearly as bad as what I have seen at others places.

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.
