Pros

Salary is the only pro here, nothing else is good about this company. Please avoid this company if you want some work life balance.

Cons

No sense of work life balance. Forced to work for extra hours without recognition. Extremely poor management, first and second level managers have no managerial skills at all. Boot licking culture is prevalent. No recognition or appreciation for an employee even though that employee is working beyond his capacity. No regard for health or personal issues of employee. If you give an honest negative feedback for anybody, this will not remain anonymous and will come back and and bite you. Why take feedback if nobody wants to improve. Work practices are too slow and inter team dependency will further slowdown your work progress, but this will be counted as a negative point for you no matter what. If you ask for a particular kind of work/team, a straight 'no' is the answer from management.

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.
