      Pros

      Good salary and benefit packages

      Cons

      Politics and backstabbing are rampant. Work/life balance is nonexistent. Senior leadership is abusive and provides no real direction. Toxic culture coming from the top down. Incredibly stressful unpleasant place to work.

      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.
