Not a company I'd recommend working for - Anonymous employee Qualcomm Employee Review

Lots of bureaucracy, favoritism, and inflated job titles. Performance reviews are twice a year with a quota system that limits the # of employees per dept who can get favorable reviews/rankings, which causes poor teamwork and very unhealthy competitiveness among employees since everyone wants to get the top ranking--raises occur only during one of the two review cycles. Taking sick time seems to be widely frowned upon, so it's best to take zero sick days--sick time is sometimes used to ding a person on performance reviews.
