Pros

Good salary with good stocks and dividends.

Cons

Work pressure is high. Managers expect to work even at 12 AM at night, and that too on Friday. Work-life balance is a huge problem in Development teams. Testing and Customer Engineering are chilled out. Not much brain work; just manual work. Everything is already done; just run automation and forward errors to the Developer. And the same salary, no discrimination between test and development, that is the worst part at Qualcomm. So, if you are a Developer or Firmware Engineer, you don't get any respect in front of the Test or Customer Engineering team.

Advice to Management

At least have some differentiation among the Development team and testing team. Developer work is more intense compared to the manual work that the test team is doing.
