Pros

Nice city; everything on location; food; sport; work; provides housing for interns!

You can work on state-of-the-art projects. Interns get research jobs (with the right supervisor).

Cons

I guess a lot depends on your job, your supervisor, and the group.

The intern program could also integrate some training. For example, have a main job but go to another department or do something else too. A circuit designer could work a week or two for the layout and testing team. This way the intern meets more people and learns about issues from the other side which he didn't consider before.

Advice to Management

Promote the name a little better. Almost none know who Qualcomm is and what they do.

Expand and have a look at Plastic Logic; their display technology might be something QC could use.
