      Probably the best company I ever worked for.

      Pros

      I think that the positive things about working for Qualcomm were the outstanding benefits package (free medical, dental and optical insurance), great pay, plenty of opportunity for advancement, excellent in house training and education benefits The working environment was stimulating in that there were always new projects in the pipeline so that you never got bored working on the same thing constantly.

      Cons

      The workload there was incredible and there never seemed to be enough time in the day or enough people to get it done although we all seemed to manage to get through it.

      A restful haven for the mediocre, inexperienced, lazy, and apathetic

      Pros

      If you want to live in San Diego, this is more or less the biggest game in town if you're a software developer (or - better yet - a hardware engineer). The commute is moderately tolerable - even if it sometimes takes more than an hour to get to work from downtown San Diego - and the benefits are decent. It's kind of like working for a solid B-list company in Silicon Valley.

      Cons

      QUALCOMM seems to be infested with employees who essentially got lucky: they somehow stumbled into a position with QCOM back in the early 1990s and worked their way into a more prestigious position with big cash prizes, stock grants, and so on. Sadly, this means that as a new hire you'll be faced with an impenetrable old boys' (or girls') network: as an outsider, you will never, ever be promoted. Many employees are minimally competent at best, and the company has embarked on aggressive cost cutting measures, so be prepared for a lot of offshoring hassles (think 6am meetings with India) as well as deep disconnects in terms of cross-cultural communication and technical competence.
