Pros

Paycheck, they have a health clinic, swimming pool, free coffee

Cons

HR is Management's back pocket, management gets away with anything and not realize they can ruin your personal and professional life with any lie. Told things such as "sacrifice your career as a mother", "hard work will not take you anywhere", "there is no potential for anyone to advance in this department", etc...careers and people's lives shredded with corporate corruption. They might promote you if you behave just right.

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.
