Pros

Slightly better than average compensation, most people are overpaid Lunch and breakfast in cafeteria Good Insurance Coverage

Cons

Office politics and nepotism Promotions on the basis of time spent in company rather than performance In general no mentor-ship and help in personal growth from manager(prevalent), your background and interests are never considered. Very low increments with high performance ratings No work satisfaction, mostly bureaucracy consumes time even at fresher level Difficult to change teams within the organization Nobody in the surrounding has enthusiasm about their work Average work is appreciated as achievement.

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.
