Long hours,
tedious work.
Promotions are based on doing tons of grunt work, not quality or smarts. Quality gets you 3/5; grunt work gets you 4/5.

Low salary.

Wireless data is the most in thing in tech now, but at Qualcomm, at the center of this innovation, we never saw any financial benefit out of it.
Outside wireless, maybe systems companies with unknown brands. Even in San Diego, where Qualcomm is the largest private employer, when you tell people you work for Qualcomm, they think you sell beer or something in Qualcomm Stadium.
Encourage more innovation and de-emphasize the rote work.
