Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Diego, California, United States
March 14, 2014
Pros: - Fantastic insurance policy
- Great half-year review cycle with pay raise
- Great location (San Diego)
- Pretty decent salary
- People are really smart
Didn't know what to expect going into Qualcomm right out of college, but I couldn't have asked for a better first job experience. I had a lot of control over how I wanted to implement the tasks I was assigned (language, frameworks, etc.) and also received a lot of help from my peers when I was stuck.
Cons: Same routine every day made work stale pretty quickly.
Work got a little too "comfortable" (which makes me feel crazy to write in the 'Cons' section), but I wanted to take advantage of my early 20s and experience the crazy rollercoaster world of startups.
