Pros

Great benefits, pay, IT systems, nice campus and work space.

Cons

Fake "work-life balance" culture promoted by HR who are hopelessly disconnected and rewarded for it. Heavy pressure to work 60+ hrs weeks evenings included.

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.
