      Pros

      Review done every 6 months...good benefit package.

      Cons

      Lots of late hours and weekend work expected from most engineers and sr engineers...bad managers with bad people skills carrying out directions and pushing it down to whoever...no work life balance at all. HR will mostly take management side...I saw hired consultants not getting paid for weekend work, management wont approve their hours. Maybe ok if you are not working for QCT /Target SW division...not worth sacrificing family time just for the great benefit package...there are plenty of othe companies in San Diego who will pay more salary.

      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.
