Pros

- Great work/life balance - Free drinks at vending machines - Unlimited sick days - Paid medical benefits - Great annual parties/celebrations - Individual offices for most positions - Potential bonus every 6 months

Cons

- Large corporation w/ typical politics/bureaucracy - Some buildings/teams not central and spread across San Diego - Rankings/performance reviews based on upper management deliberation and not end-to-end impact - Reductions in force can go unreported in the media if handled in small numbers...they still happen even though you don't hear that the company is laying off

Pros

Qualcomm has a very strong engineering culture. Engineers get the resources they need with very little fuss. Compared to other places I have worked in engineers here are spoiled. If you are an engineer then this place is great because QCOM is an still very, very much strives to be an industry leader. Engineering also has a good promotion policy that keeps engineers as engineers.

Cons

Being San Diego's biggest employer they do not compete with salaries albeit the benefits compensate somewhat. Another downside is you are expected to work around the clock and waste a lot of time in meetings.
