Pros

Great group of people to work with, both as peers and in management. Qualcomm seems to treat ALL of their employees with respect no matter their position or title within the company. Surrounded by the BEST engineering minds in the United States, if not the world. Incredible benefits, continued technology education and good work life balance. They also look to employees for constant feedback on how to improve and stay on top of our industry.

Cons

Salaries could be improved upon to help with the high cost of living in San Diego.

Pros

The people. The technology. The excitement. Always so much to learn here and each day is different. There are many support structures here (tools/team/mgmt) and communication flows very well. Qualcomm is a big company, yet moves very quickly in an ever changing/evolving market place. We are very well positioned in multiple areas these days. QCT Chips are selling more than ever and CDMA continues to expand (WCDMA/CDMA2000), MediaFLO (broadcast mobile TV), Firethorn (mobile commerce), QIS (Brew apps, Qchat). QC continues to spend over $1B a year in R&D and we are coming out with many compelling products. From multiple personal devices, to medical, to logistics, etc.

Cons

None that I have come accross in my two years. I have worked for about 10 other companies over the last 10 years (most have been contracts) and I am more impressed with what I see here at QC than at any other place I have worked at. They really take care of their people here and our attrition rate is incredibly low - MUCH lower than industry standard - which says a lot. I am, for the first time in nearly a decade, still excited about my career and QC. I finally found a place in which I want to work for long term and build my career.
