Pros

Great Benefits, Great products to work on, lots of learning can happen. It's a fast paced, results oriented enviornment so you definitely get experience with different designs. I've been working there about a year and have worked on a handful of designs already. The products are very cutting edge and you will be designing hardware/software possibly up to a year before they are available to the consumer. The benefits cover you and your dependents for medical, dental and vision. They have gyms at work as well as dentists and a medical center at work. There are fitness classes, on campus fairs and concerts, as well as tennis/volleyball/basketball courts.

Cons

Appreciation is not always there. Often you work extra hours or do extra work w/out appreciation or compensation.

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.
