Pros

Being on the cutting edge of the wireless industry. You gain visibility into technologies and business decisions that will influence the rest of the world. Best employer in San Diego, which is a fantastic city to live in. There are really no other good chip design companies within SD... in fact it's hard to find other good technology companies in San Diego. Nothing compared to Irvine or Bay Area

Cons

QCT is not a great place to work. Most within QCT view themselves as "Quality Control Technicians". The culture needs to change and the engineers need to be better appreciated.

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
