Qualcomm

Great benefits and resources. Senior people are fairly well compensated.

Lot of interesting work, great colleagues, good diversity, strong industry presence, and sustained competitive advantage.

The company is becoming too large and top-heavy. I feel there is a fair amount of dead wood; some house cleaning would be useful.

Engineers have relatively little room for lateral movement. There's lots of duplication.

I would like product management and marketing to be more competent.

The stock price has been up and down over the last 10 years, but is relatively flat (or even down). Some competitors did better.

The management can be very aggressive with goals, without backing them up with resources. This creates a lot of stress on the team. However, this varies from division to division.

QCT (CDMA Technologies) is the busiest place to work, but also the safest in terms of job security.

Too many engineers on top. The company needs better business and engineering processes.

It needs to bring in a competent COO (one or more).

The company is not very well balanced. There were some bad business decisions made (Globalstar, MediaFlow).
