Pros

Respected company to work for.

Privacy/freedom of work for an employee.

Very work-oriented, so a good learning experience.

Cons

Slow in terms of giving promotions.

Start-up kind of culture; Qualcomm works as a big production machine which mechanizes the output from its employees.

Communication channels within the company are poor and too much segregated.

Big void in responsibilities of managers and engineers. Engineers are not involved in the planning and have almost no say.

Working late and on weekends is very common.

Advice to Management

Learn from peers
