      Disappointing Experience with Tapfin Recruitment for Qualcomm

      Hardware engineer
      Former contractor
      San Diego, CA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      My experience with Tapfin handling recruitment for Qualcomm was disappointing. While the opportunity to work at Qualcomm was appealing, the lack of professionalism, transparency, and fair treatment from Tapfin overshadowed any potential benefits. I would caution others to approach opportunities managed by Tapfin with skepticism and to thoroughly research and negotiate before accepting any offers.

      Cons

      My experience with Tapfin, the recruitment agency handling hiring for Qualcomm, left much to be desired. While the opportunity to work at Qualcomm was appealing, the process managed by Tapfin was lacking in professionalism and transparency. Cons: • Unethical practices: The job offer presented by Tapfin seemed to significantly undervalue my skills and experience. It appeared that they were more focused on cutting costs than offering fair compensation. • Lack of transparency: Throughout the recruitment process, Tapfin failed to provide clear and honest information about the job role, compensation package, and benefits. This lack of transparency made it difficult to make informed decisions. • Poor communication: There were significant delays in communication from Tapfin's side, leading to frustration and uncertainty about the status of the application. • Overall slimy vibe: The overall impression left by Tapfin was one of unprofessionalism and insincerity. It felt like they were more concerned with their own interests than those of the candidates.

      Pros

      Good compensation as compared to most of the companies in India. Great stock options. Free food (Pathetic, but free). High stakes, good learning. Good overall benefits.

      Cons

      You need to be lucky to get into a good team. As usual, your manager will make or break your career. The management vertical is not at all lean. People at same position are reporting to each other. Things move slowly as expected in a big tech company. Slow promotions. Low level promotions are not at all performance based. Non existent HR system. Bureaucracy. Qualcomm has hired people like it was last day on earth. In the name of diversity and inclusion, Qualcomm has degraded their interview and hiring standards. Good talent has already left. Whatever is remaining, the old school (the old guard) management is making sure they leave as well. Most of the people are workoholics, and expect you to be one as well. Working extended hours is so normal that if you complain about it, you will be laughed at. And you will be told how you are wrong for not working 12 hours a day.
