Pros
- Great pay, bonus, stocks, insurance, learning, - Great engineers to work with - In the past had the startup aggression - Flexible working hours - Occasional 2-3 months of great work in a year - The kind of schedule and culture Qualcomm has needs techie people with deep knowledge on their system, partly because lack of documentation. - Excellent R&D in San Diego - Great place for self-motivated people Giving a good rating to this company because the pay is good. Otherwise it would be a 2 star company.
Cons
- Unresponsive HR - India office is not an R&D as such - just a backend office of San Diego. Discarded and repetitive tasks are moved to India. Quality of work is bad in India. Mostly it is commercialization support. - Top heavy, managers have become too distant from tech and lost touch with reality. - Most Indian managers have given up on aggression and act as puppets of San Diego counterparts. - Both HR & management have a great open door policy for management and tech improvements but nothing will ever come out of it. - India office gives only lip service to innovation - an annual frenzy for one or two months, there is no real planning or long-term engagement to foster innovation. - Too much posturing in India office. reality is - its just another Indian service company with better pay. - No true leadership or growth planning, another management gimmick.
