Pros

Excellent RSUs, bonus, health plan, and vacation time. Average base salary. QCOM offers engineers the opportunity to work on a variety of technologies.

Cons

Many old-timers promoted to managerial positions lack planning and leadership skills. Daily status meetings (mornings, evenings, and weekends) make work-life integration difficult. Too many processes negatively impact project execution in a very competitive market.

Advice to Management

Mergers and acquisitions should be followed by a good integration strategy.

Consider promoting people with both technical and leadership skills to managerial positions.
