      Pros

      You get to work on new technologies. San Diego is a great place to live.

      Cons

      - No work life balance at all. You are expected to work on weekends/late nights. - Too much office politics, reviews are biased based on personal relationships - Unstable since they are reliant on couple of customers for majority of revenue. - Falling stock, layoffs looming. - Poor benefits, upcoming health insurance with high deductibles.

      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.
