      Excellent Place to work, Great Benefits

      Senior engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Qualcomm is one the best companies to work for. The salary is above national average and Qualcomm is one of the high paying companies. The benefits are really awesome, you get full health care coverage with very little copay. If you are ambitious and hard working, Qualcomm is really good company to start your career and move forward.

      Cons

      Sometimes the work gets hectic. Salary although high and Qualcomm is among best paying companies, it still not as high as compared to other giants like Google or Microsoft. Hence Qualcomm may have issues in retaining talent. Bonuses and stocks are given to employees but again they could be much higher.

      A sweatshop in the USA. Long hours are inevitable. If you have a life at all, let it go before you work here.

      Pros

      Some discounts around town for employees.

      Cons

      # No work- life balance. # Most work almost 12 hours everyday. Not the managers maybe, but for a new recruit, that is a minimum for months. # Salary is very less for the extremely demanding work. # Terrible work culture. # Half the work force is Temp employees. That says a lot about how Qualcomm wants to save more and pay the absolute least it can.

      QCT is a tough place to work... know what you are getting yourself into

      Senior design engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Being on the cutting edge of the wireless industry. You gain visibility into technologies and business decisions that will influence the rest of the world. Best employer in San Diego, which is a fantastic city to live in. There are really no other good chip design companies within SD... in fact it's hard to find other good technology companies in San Diego. Nothing compared to Irvine or Bay Area

      Cons

      QCT is not a great place to work. Most within QCT view themselves as "Quality Control Technicians". The culture needs to change and the engineers need to be better appreciated.
