Qualcomm Work Experiences
- 2.0If you are young and fresh out of school, this is not the place you would want to workModem Engineer • Current EmployeeSanta Clara, California, United StatesSeptember 7, 2015Pros: Relatively good work/life balance. The offices/cubes people sit in are scattered, so your managers/colleagues won't notice what time you come in or leave.Cons: Too much email communication or IMs. Since your colleagues/managers don't sit near you, they rely on emails/IMs so much, and it is very inefficient. Composing a sentence and explaining things in email/IMs can take 5 times longer than normal.
