Qualcomm

work with some of the best people in the industry. A lot of people with very inspiring, go-getter attitudes. Good pay, good hikes, good perks, good facilities. Flexibility to explore different technologies, teams, work profiles, and geographical areas. Lot of people spend decades or beyond being in this company. A little more competitive environment, but I will consider it a positive side (at least better than some semiconductor giants who have hired a bunch of government employees). Relatively better job security compared to others in the industry. This is one of the companies where people in headquarters listen to what Indians say, at least partially.

Salaries are good, but not the best in the industry.

Sometimes work-life balance goes for a toss, as the expectation is to be online and work more hours. This was pretty relaxed during COVID times, though.

There's too much influence from headquarters, especially from Indians sitting in San Diego, which makes it a nightmare for people working in India.

Mid-level management politics.

Revise pay structure; competitors have started paying more.
