      Pros

      Health insurance, although not so great since start of 2016, and employee assistance programs. Many tech areas to explore.

      Cons

      It has the negative aspects of a start-up and also the negative aspects of a big company. Some examples are: lack of coding standards, tribal knowledge, little attention to making robust solutions, political factions everywhere with no one actually making decisions, no feeling of inclusiveness for new comers, no risk taking and new ideas buried under endless discussions.

      Pros

      Qualcomm has the best benefits in San Diego out of any company in the area and this alone makes it attract to work there. That's pretty much it.

      Cons

      It's a hardware company so beware. If you're a software guy there is no future/career track. If you can't design a chip you'll be second class. Period. Every other type of engineer gets shafted to 2nd-class status in the company. As a result the vast majority of mgr's are politics driven and you see this every day and sucks the life out of the employees. There are also lots of dead weight because of this as well.
