Pros: - Competitive pay.
- I got promoted quickly, but that really depends on the team. I have a lot of friends who are very capable but get mired in performance review politics; it's really hit or miss.
Cons: - Quality of people who have been here 12-15+ years ago is not up to par.
- They probably joined when Qualcomm was growing quickly, which makes you wonder how these guys are engineers.
- Sweatshop mentality has existed for the last 3 years+ in QCT (the chip-making business).
- Schedule is prioritized over quality, with questionable return.
- Management is too conservative and not willing to invest in growth areas.

Pros: Depending on the team, WLB isn't too bad. Pay is pretty good when starting out. San Diego has a lower cost of living compared to the Bay Area.
Cons: Material can be difficult to learn on your own. Senior-level staff are very busy and can't always teach.
