Like a startup, but without the cash flow issues
Lots of cutting-edge wireless/embedded software work, across both 3G and 4G technologies. A highly competent engineering workforce and a fairly grueling interview process. Good pay and benefits. There are no issues with career advancement if you're capable and willing to put in the effort.
Not a sweatshop, but it can be very demanding at times. You must assert your own work/life balance, or the work and culture behind it will demand more and more from you.
Company culture is eroding in the face of increasing industry competition. Upper management should try to hold on to the engineering-driven-company qualities that (still) make Qualcomm a special place to work.
