Pros

The people are great. I loved striking up conversations with just about anybody. You're surrounded by incredibly intelligent individuals, and you can learn a lot from normal conversation. I had a relatively challenging project, and I was able to see the final product before I left.

Also, San Diego is amazing. I can't think of a better place to live.

Cons

Sometimes people in other departments didn't do their job, and it held up my project. There is some bureaucracy, though significantly less than other companies I have interned with.

Honestly, the worst part about the whole thing is having to leave.

Advice to Management

Keep focusing on developing new technologies and push QCT products as aggressively as possible for the 4G era. There are some projects I'm not so sold on (Zeebo), and others that I think are great but are currently too overpriced (FLO).
