Current Employee – been working at Qualcomm as an intern for less than a year

Former Employee – worked at Qualcomm as an intern for less than a year

Pros – For interns:

- Great intern activities both at work and outside of work
- Good work life balance
- Projects: they don't expect a lot from interns, but if you demonstrate to them that you can be trusted with more responsibility, they'll give it to you.
- Pay is competitive
- Housing and relocation is paid for
- Good chance of getting a return offer if you do a good job.

Cons – I imagine that it takes a little time to move up here. This might not be a big deal to some people.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you're doing. You can probably push your interns a little harder.

Former Employee – worked at Qualcomm

Pros – The internship program had very good compensation and excellent accommodations. They also hosted a lot of social events to help interns meet each other.
