Pros

The benefits are amazing. Great healthcare paid in full by Qualcomm. They have a free health clinic and great cafeterias.

Cons

They are not doing well as competitors are taking the lead in the industry. They are experiencing major layoffs, which include employees who have been with the company 15+ years. Management is also a bit of a joke. Too many top-level leaders without enough worker bees. This results in major ego battles. At times the antics felt more like a high school feud than productive management expected from a leading technology company.
