Great company, but not to work at
Great company, but not to work at
It’s a great hardware company. There truly is quality with the modem. The location in San Diego is unbeatable. You can stay here forever. The ESPP plan is amazing!
There is a lack of diversity; the majority of engineering employees are Indian or Chinese. This causes Qualcomm's culture to be similar to the Asian culture of overworking. I saw many coworkers working until midnight or even on weekends. We don’t have on-call, but honestly, being on-call might be better. Moving up takes forever; you’ll be stuck in a role for five-plus years.
