Pros

Great history and great technology and great potential.

Teams are very talented engineering-wise, with a lot of smart, knowledgeable people.

Cons
  • Growing middle management that does nothing except politicking around.
  • Unable to execute in adjacent markets as well as core business (Modems, App processors).
  • Outside HQ, company culture is missing and non-existent.
Advice to Management

Qualcomm in SD is great, but to be successful, you need agility in all major offices and focus on establishing a strong culture of innovation.

Walk the walk in encouraging technology innovation rather than focusing too much on Wall Street.
