Respected company to work for. Privacy/freedom of work for an employee Very work oriented so good learning experience

Cons

Slow in terms of giving promotions Start-up kind of culture, Qualcomm works as a big production machine which mechanize the output from its employees Communication channels with in the company are poor and too much segregated Big void in responsibilities of a managers and engineers, engineers are not involved in the planning and have almost no say Working late and on weekends is very common
