Pros

Challenging work. Nice working environment. Nice Campus. San Diego is a nice city.

Cons

Too many people playing politics and not making decisions based upon company needs. People are working more on positioning themselves for a promotion and not enough time doing what should be done. Poor work life balance. Qualcomm use to have excellent benefits but they just rolled out it's 2016 benefits package and it is horrible. Extremely high deductibles, 100% out of pocket on everything until high deductible is met. High cost of living make your high salary seem small.

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.
