Qualcomm Work Experiences
3.0
Fast pace but low efficiency

Pros: The working atmosphere is positive and not quite bad, despite the top-down management boundary.
Cons: Meetings can suffer from awful inefficiency and a lack of process transparency.
2.0

Pros: - You will gain ATE tester experience.
- Great city to live in.
- Professional employees.
Cons: The Product Test Engineering department is like a 24/7 grinder. Unless they grind you 24/7, Qualcomm will not be able to keep up with the demand for consumer chips, which are in high demand.
You will only gain ATE tester experience. You will get cornered into ATE, and your career will not have other possibilities. You will get stuck in production manufacturing environments.
Even though Qualcomm makes cutting-edge technology, as a product test engineer, your knowledge will be constrained, and you will gain no knowledge of design, architecture, etc.
It's a great city to live in, but you will not have time to enjoy it. We got calls during weekends and also around 3-4 AM to resolve tester issues so that production would not stall. Qualcomm took no measures to arrange a night shift. If you don't answer the call, it will be noted in the system, and you will eventually get chopped.
There are professional employees. 90% of them are under the age of 30 and are Indian. It will be easier if you are Indian too.
4.0
Still a good place to work
