A sweatshop in the USA. Long hours are inevitable. If you have a life at all, let it go before you work here. - Systems Engineer Qualcomm Employee Review

Pros

Some discounts around town for employees.

Cons

# No work- life balance. # Most work almost 12 hours everyday. Not the managers maybe, but for a new recruit, that is a minimum for months. # Salary is very less for the extremely demanding work. # Terrible work culture. # Half the work force is Temp employees. That says a lot about how Qualcomm wants to save more and pay the absolute least it can.
