      Pros

      There are many opportunities to learn new tools, skills, and technologies here, and a lot of great employee perks like free online educational programs, if you take advantage of them. The pay and benefits are still among the best in San Diego.

      Cons

      The atmosphere no longer feels like a family like it did when the Jacobs family was calling the shots. The primary focus seems to be on the stock price, rather than on innovation. They got the U.S. president to save the company from the Broadcom hostile takeover, but the company is still outsourcing jobs by the hundreds.

      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.
