Pros: Challenging work, very professional staff, great benefits, industry leader, room to grow.
Cons: If working in the largest division, QCT (Qualcomm CDMA Technologies), it's a sweatshop, sweatshop, sweatshop. Expect 60+ hour weeks routinely unless you are very good at pushing back. That is why they are industry leaders - they extract more output per employee than similar companies at the expense of the employee.
