Qualcomm

1. Good salary, even as a fresher, best in the telecommunication domain.
2. Good exposure to a lot of cutting-edge technologies, especially in the mobile domain.
3. If you are lucky, a few people are very helpful and polite in solving all your doubts.

1. Culture has gone bad over recent years, and a lot of work overload is being faced by employees, with work-life balance completely lost. Also, politics among teams has led to an adverse work distribution among employees.

2. Only testing and debugging work is given to freshers, with hardly any development work done. This is bad, especially for people with a CS background.

3. Salary hikes are pretty bad compared to other companies in the same salary domain.

4. Collaborating with US colleagues is a big issue. You have to work and collaborate until late hours every day, which leads to a very bad work-life balance. You just can't feel free even after coming home.

Please work on the cons. The company is known for its culture over the years, and it's getting worse these days. You guys know it too; the company is going for a toss. Please listen to employee issues and, more importantly, solve them promptly!
