Pros

nice company with great benefits. lots of opportunity to move to different areas and I have seen people grow by having jobs created for them. great activities for employees (such as picnics, evenings out, summer employee music/outdoor events) and a lot of learning resources available to take advantage of. We get free medical and dental benefits which is a definite plus and something I have not seen at other companies.

Cons

There are a few draw backs to working at QCT: QCT has a totally different culture than the rest of Qualcomm QCT employees work an excessive amount of time, often with little recognition Within QCT there is a lot of critical speak that goes on, have thick skin if you join The QCT culture is one of putting out fires -- don't expect a lot of planning to happen to prevent these fires If you are on the business side you need to realize that there is not a lot of recognition outside of engineers

Pros

Good perks, very professional and highly talented people and above all........cutting-edge products. The experienced people here are willing to share knowledge and groom new talent which is a big plus for any fresh graduate. Since, Qualcomm is very choosy in theor recruiting process, they trust you with big responsibilities of the projects. If you happen to deliver, then the responsibilities will only increase exponentially. The 6 month review cycle is good because it helps you understand how well you are meeting expectations and not to mention the pay raises every 6 months.

Cons

very competitive, promotions are very hard to get. Its pretty tough to climb the ladder in short time unless you are prodigious.

Pros

Smartest electrical engineers around. Good focus on patents/ip, not just short term revenue projections. Work on advanced technology attracts some cool people.

Cons

Large company means opportunities to do things with initiative are by definition hard to do. Tends to have alot revolving around SAn Diego.
