Pros

Qualcomm has a great work-life balance if your manager permits you to take advantage of it. The medical benifits provided are great!

Cons

No integrity in IT Management No recognition for new employees Tasks/Projects/Milestones accomplished are not communicated up the management chain, especially in IT. Instead, the manager will take credit for great work and accomplishments and has at least one level below to blame when things don't go as favorably. Very secretive and cowardly promotion and bonus/perk structures. Will actively deny or make extremely difficult the ability to transfer internally.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
