Pros

Great campus, great food.

Challenging environment.

Cons

Qualcomm is a very large company, and I can only speak for I.T. As with most large companies, they tend to get management heavy. Management has to justify its position and, in turn, spends endless hours thinking of ways to tighten the noose. Things were much more creative and relaxed several years ago; now, it is like kindergarten: constant reports, time cards, metrics, and such. Raises have all but ceased, and the great stock options are now a few RSUs.

Advice to Management

Let the great people that Qualcomm works so hard to recruit do their jobs. Stop with the constant babysitting mentality.
