      Pros

      Compensation and benefits are decent.

      Cons

      There are too many silos and lack of communication between teams while at the same time keeping way to many meetings that are useless. It is hard to make changes and people are not open to listen to new ideas. Lots of internal politics and unhealthy competition between teams and locations. In many cases this yields duplicated solutions and efforts.

      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.
