      Smart people, good values, but too much hierarchy and a LOT of work

      Staff engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lot of smart people willing to collaborate. Projects move at fast pace. Decisions are usually fast unless it is across divisions. Top Management is strategic, open, and no (known) scandals. Many top people are also easy to approach to. Lots of perks and some fun activities (if you have time to participate)

      Cons

      Lot of hierarchy - too many directors/sr. directors etc. Earlier it was engineer heavy company, now it is is heavy management. This limits internal growth tremendously. Also unless some top management likes you, there is little scope for advancement. Work/life balance is only on the paper - some projects have insane work schedules and email floods your inbox and you are expected to respond "ASAP".

      Great benefits in return for 50+ hr work weeks.

      Senior program manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are amazing. Great healthcare paid in full by Qualcomm. They have a free health clinic and great cafeterias.

      Cons

      They are not doing well as competitors are taking the lead in the industry. They are experiencing major layoffs, which include employees who have been with the company 15+ years. Management is also a bit of a joke. Too many top-level leaders without enough worker bees. This results in major ego battles. At times the antics felt more like a high school feud than productive management expected from a leading technology company.
