Did Qualcomm grow too big, too fast?
Did Qualcomm grow too big, too fast?
Good work/life balance is definitely achievable, at least where I was.
Working with great people who care about a quality product.
Moved from matrix-style managers to direct-report managers.
Lots of interesting problems to solve.
- Work culture has taken a big hit recently with various layoffs and lawsuits.
- Has grown into somewhat of a monolithic software company that moves slowly internally. Also, a lot of the internal tools and processes are outdated or unrefined.
- The communication and collaboration between different teams is abysmal.
- Benefits package is getting worse every year.
Take better care of your employees and try to become a faster, more agile company.
Try to understand what your employees actually do day to day and listen to their suggestions.
Stop taking outrageous bonuses yourself while laying off hundreds of people.
