Pros

Innovation is the key word at Qualcomm. We are motivated and rewarded heavily for innovation. I learn something new everyday. Qualcomm has a great reward program for new ideas by employees and the right ideas take very little time to get funded and converted to real world projects within Qualcomm. QC also encourages a great work life balance. Numerous clubs inside the campus make sure that one is never short of activities. Team bonding events within groups are common place through out the year. Finally, we get free dinner Mon through Thursday. This is a gourmet three course dinner. Small things like this go a long way in making employees feel great about working in Qualcomm.

Cons

Compensation is fair but could be higher. That is probably the only thing I would change about Qualcomm. Similar positions in other companies get compensated a whole lot more.

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.
