Pros

Qualcomm develops unique technology that nobody else has equal expertise with. As an engineer there was amazing opportunities to learn wireless communication protocols that were designed in house.

Cons

Performance reviews are completely unfair unless your manager is technically sound and smart enough to recognize the level of your work. Most middle managers are status collectors who were promoted through friendships and alliances that form becuase of incompetence. Many VPs have no reports but then you see they've filed 3,000 patents. Qualcomm's business model is licensing and IP and the litigation lawsuits that follow.

Pros

Interesting stuff to work on

Cons

Unless you make Vp they run out senior directors who aren’t protected over 45 when they have a layoff: claim budget issues but spend millions on questionable sponsorships
