  • Wide range of areas to expand to in terms of technical knowledge.
Cons

This is really sad to say that a company as big as Qualcomm does not pay well. Salary increases are very low, to the point that it is humiliating, actually.

In 2022, the inflation rate in Germany reached 11%. Even though the company only adjusted salaries with a 3% increase, which is around 120 Euros for a Senior Software Engineer. 120 Euros! More or less, you get a fancy night out, that's it!

The sad thing is, when I spoke to my manager, he told me, and this is word for word: "Employees are the last thing on the upper management's mind at the moment."

I still can't believe a company as big as Qualcomm treats its employees with such a mindset.

Advice to Management

Your employees are the reason for the billions of dollars in profit that you make each year, and you treat them with a 120 Euro coupon.
