Pros

Good benefit. Relaxed work style (if you are a well-experienced professional). Work-life balanced.

Cons

Lack of technical capabilities.

Advanced design claimed here is indeed average design.

Employees are brainwashed, they believe they are making an impact on the engineering society, but they are indeed just doing routine work.

Politics everywhere. Senior people think they know many things, but they are just a bunch of frogs in a well.

If you are a fresh grad, this is not the place for you. You will find it impossible to compete with people after a couple of years of experience at Qualcomm.

Advice to Management

Nothing. Please keep that mindset so that other small companies have a better chance to sell their IP to Qualcomm and make tons of money.
