Qualcomm reviews

-Zero work/life balance. Everyone works 9am-7pm in office. Then expected to be online with overseas teams from 9-midnight meetings, regardless of seniority level. Deadlines on weekends, holidays(memorial day/july 4th) is a typical occurrence. -Political: Competition between groups for projects. Disputes over which teams are to blame for issues. - Future layoffs - Reduced health benefits - No formal performance reviews. - Internal transfers are difficult, and generally discouraged. - Somewhat of a revolving door the past few years, many longtime engineers left. - Lack of any tangible growth plan in businesses other than modems and rf/wireless chips even as smartphone market matures.

Backstabbing is the norm, nepotism rules, you may as well join a union when you realize that peoples offices are given to them based 1st on tenure then on position. Management is too worried to make the right decisions and the twice a year review process is a horrific implementation of bashing peoples character with people who have no clue how to write a professional review. Employees are worked 70+ hr weeks and made to feel that they are fortunate to have a job there.
