11 on Forbes Best Places to Work? Not!
If you want to get engineering experience, this is a great place to be because Qualcomm ventures into every new wireless product available. Also, it is easy to approach experts in different areas and get one's technical curiosities satisfied.
The company culture is of workhorses; people literally seem to be working like crazy for no good reason. The prioritization of everything is always "critical," and it need not be. It's easy to feel burnt out or sitting among robots. There's not much scope for growth if you want to rise up quick. The review system does not really give much insight into rewards for a job well done. The immigration system sucks, so don't even think about joining if you need a green card or something.
Prioritize tasks better instead of driving unrealistic project deadlines. Improve the review system.
