Pros

Good ratio between Manager and Employees. You will be working on latest cutting-edge technologies. Compensation and health benefits are top of the line.

Cons

Can't say there are whole lot of downsides for working at Qualcomm, but the environment is not typical of a startup company.

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.
