Qualcomm Work Experiences
3.0
Hot industry and smart co-workers, but a somewhat clunky process

Pros: It's a great time to work for Qualcomm. The stock has been doing well, and the smartphone market shows no signs of cooling off anytime soon. I also appreciate the opportunity to work with a lot of really smart people.
Cons: While Qualcomm's growth is generally a good thing, I think it is still struggling to adjust its processes to handle the massive number of products it is trying to ship out the door.
As a developer, I think there's a lot that could be done to streamline Qualcomm's current software development process.
Admittedly, this is a good problem to have.
