      Qualcomm - Not The Company It Use To Be

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      + Industry leader + Opportunity to work with leading-edge technology + Challenging work environment + Diverse workforce + Fairly compensated for the amount of work that is expected of you

      Cons

      - Low employee morale due to recent layoffs and cost-cutting moves. - Company laid off ~15% of employees in 2015. Focus seemed to be on getting rid of the "expensive" employees who had been loyal, committed employees for 8 years or longer. - Cost cutting moves have taken away many of the things that made Qualcomm a great place to work. Gone are the superb health benefits, lunches & Friday morning bagels, beverages in all conference rooms, celebrations/parties for tapeouts, annual holiday parties, etc. - No work/life balance. Expectation in many groups that work will continue from home in the evenings and on weekends. - Questionable hiring/promotion practices that are based upon a person's ethnicity and whether it aligns with senior leadership.

      Pros

      Company is living on their past success. Great location and exciting technology

      Cons

      Management gets physically and verbally upset when they don't get their way. Hides issues with money and hiring people
