Pros

The building looked nice and the receptionist was very kind.

Cons

I feel obligated to post this as it's still on my mind. I interviewed for Qualcomm over a year ago in their cambridge office. The interview was with 3 people, 2 of which were nice however the mid-level interviewer was incredibly rude to me. I was nervous and struggled to answer questions I usually know the answer to and I was ordered around in ways such as "sit down." "Dont say anything." To make matters worse, at the end of that stage of the interview, the interviewer asked me my ethnic origin and also mocked my credentials as a junior at the time. Overall my worst interviewing experience.

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.
