Pros

Work in a chip vendor company which is a more focused and wider breadth of work compared to working for an OEM which makes its own chips (e.g. Apple, Pixel, etc).

Cons

Terrible work life balance. They are in the process of reorganizing their company mission so things are a little all over the place. You're either going to lose your job to AI, to low-cost geos (e.g. India, China) or your work life balance is just going to suck.

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.
