Pros

Good benefits, salary, perks etc.

Cons

Cess pool of politics. Indians everywhere. Indians are now in the management position ( VP/SVP/GM -level) and some of them unfortunately cant even write or speak proper English. HR is in cahoot with the management and ignores employees concerns. Too much favoritism and incompetent people gets promoted whereas competent people just because of their physical traits can't get promoted. It is very unhappy place to work.

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.
