Pros

Work with some of the smartest people in tech (if you're lucky).

Recruiters for other companies generally contact you immediately if you have Qualcomm on your resume.

You could probably get away with doing nothing for years.

Cons

Too much reliance on non-US employees. Compensation is terrible compared to other companies. Workplace mentality is not great. Focus on being a "chip" company will eventually negatively affect Qualcomm's business practices. Only modem and multimedia teams are given higher compensation.

Advice to Management

Stop H1B reliance.

Stop reliance on international offices.

Bring your engineering practices into the modern age.

Recruit from better schools and get better recruiters than have some glancing knowledge of technology.
