Qualcomm

Good teams with reasonable expectations of work, nice people, understanding when you choose to take time off, and will always okay your time off requests. Good benefits, no micromanaging.

Low pay/monetary compensation relative to other software companies, especially when compared to the amount of work given. There are low raises, no salary negotiation, and an expectation of overtime with no compensation. Late-night meetings are frequent due to collaboration with Indian teams. There are not many opportunities for promotion either.

Make normal AR raises higher, instead of waiting for mass inflation to give a proper raise. Not negotiating salary only works when you get high raises. Give larger bonuses as well. Promote people more often. I appreciate that the new CEO seems to understand this, but only time will tell if this is merely a band-aid or an actual attempt to improve compensation.
