Pros

Depending on the team you can work on challenging problems.

Cons

Reduced benefit is a real bummer. Health insurance is getting a huge downgrade in 2016. Company is really cheap. why does procuring a new monitor need to go to VP of finance? why is it almost impossible to get a laptop upgrade when your current one clearly no longer functions well enough for the job? Compared to companies in Silicon valley where employees are pampered Qualcomm really doesn't give a damn about the people doing the work. Company politics is a joke, incompetent people at management level with their equally incompetent lackeys getting all the promotions and raises while the good people are hardly recognized.

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.
