Pros

The benefits package includes full health coverage for your whole family. The additional benefits provided by HR make life enjoyable. The company allows a perfect balance of life and work, with very flexible schedules. The work environment is relaxed. You can wear shorts, sandals, etc. in an engineering position. The atmosphere resembles a college campus. The weather in San Diego along with the diversity in workforce make the days enjoyable.

Cons

There are many employees who have been at QUALCOMM for many years and have senior managment positions. They are not necessarily competent, but stay employed because of their seniority. This makes advancement difficult.

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.
