Pros

Pay and benefits are good. Culture used to be awesome.

Cons

So why did I quit? Highly political work environment, no more raises, lack of job stability (management said no layoffs in our small team but one week later, one of our teammates is gone), work/life balance is pretty bad for hardworking, competent workers but great for career inhouse politicians who like to "work from home."

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.
