Pros

Good experience in embedded systems (if you are working in software that is). you will get to work on totally next generation products and concepts. Great learning experience. Its like working for a big startup

Cons

Pay is slightly below average. The HR department treats you like an object sometimes. There is no Project Management. Company is turning slowly into a walled company. There is an R&D wall, which throws stuff into the development section sitting accross the wall. The development section either throws the stuff back over from the wall to the R&D or takes it and develops it, then the marketing steps in and a lot more back and forth throwing stuff goes on. In the end, the lower level and to some extent the middle management lose visibility into whats happening.

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.
