Pros

Huge stocks 50k for 3 years and joining bonus like 15 lakhs for senior se

Cons

- immense toxic pressure, no boundary be its weekend or 1:00am in night, they will call you and make you work - No vacations, you wont be able to take 7 days vacation at a stretch. - Daily on call, all work happens on call no focus time. They will call you and make you work. Moreover in office also nobody will ever use breakout area or have tea/coffee break l. Expect daily 10-12 hr work. -No boundry in words, i mean i have seen managers abusing their candidates although mine didnt do. But very common. - Managers do not like sudden sick leaves. They will hate you for this and you will feel it. - No 2hr or 3 hr away status everybody works everyday, full 10-12 hrs minimum can be extended to 18 hrs every 3rd day -5 days office and they will monitor when you come to office and when you leave. They will prefer to stay minimum 10 hrs in office. Early leaving raises eyebrows. - My father died and they forced me 4 days after to office, no wfh. Nobody has humanity here. They all are money hungry people from startups and they just care about work - pathetic engineers. They just know the ecosystem and 0 knowledge about outside and very maintenance and testing work in hyderabad office. -By chance you leave qualcomm within 2 years they will make you pay all money as bonus and everything mentioned in offer, which is beyond you can manage. - its a profit first company not employee first. You will loose sleep, your life, your years and family, everything. You wont get time to think about anything else apart from work. They will kill your soul with extra stocks. Suddenly you will realise how much you lost ie life you could have enjoyed. - After 2 years forget you will be able to switch, no skills and no time
