Stuck in Old Ways
Stuck in Old Ways
You get to live in San Diego while working for tech, but otherwise, not much else going for it these days.
Outdated technology (e.g., Office 2013).
No choice in laptops (must be HP/ThinkPad), and even new hires are given recycled laptops.
Benefits aren't great anymore. Health benefits are still paid for, but if you need to do any sort of medical procedure, be ready to pay out of pocket until you hit the deductible.
No sense of brand ambassador. Management complains about a certain company's phone line cutting into our profits, yet an entire row of employees is using that company's phones.
Talent pool is dry. People don't want to work at/for Qualcomm, so all new hires are essentially leftovers from other hiring pools.
Work/life balance is a myth here; it does not exist. The manager constantly complains about staying at work until 9-10 PM, as if they're hinting they want us to stay with them.
Middle management doesn't know how to manage; it's all about schmoozing to get that next promotion.
Learn to be a leader and not a micro-manager.
Listen to your actual employees.
Make us feel proud to work at Qualcomm.
Stop driving out talent.
