Pros

Many people in management who will listen to and act on feedback from anyone regardless of title; lots of goal-oriented and self-driven engineers who work well with people; great onboarding resources for new college graduates; and plenty of opportunities to take on new technical challenges.

Cons

Difficult to strike a good work/life balance (and management constantly encroaches on it).

Limited growth and advancement opportunities, given Qualcomm's current corporate outlook.

A fair amount of inter-office politics at the executive level can make it hard to get certain things done.

Advice to Management

Do more to retain the competent employees you have! Show that you're willing to keep a good corporate culture and ensure that people aren't being overworked.
