Pros

On-par compensation package with the industry. Great health benefits for family members; however, it is going to change soon as the company is focusing on cutting costs.

Very challenging projects and cutting-edge technology with innovative products.

The company is still leading the market. At least for now.

Cons

Politics, politics, and politics. If you don't know the right people, you get stuck there.

Pressure has been rising vertically in the past few years, and there is no sign that it is going down soon. Consequences? Very long working hours.

Advice to Management

For an engineering firm like Qualcomm, engineers are still the engine propelling its progress. However, the company has shifted significantly from engineering-focused to management-focused. Advice for management: pay more attention to employees' voices.
