Didn't know what to expect going into Qualcomm right out of college, but I couldn't have asked for a better first job experience. I had a lot of control over how I wanted to implement the tasks I was assigned (language, frameworks, etc.) and also received a lot of help from my peers when I was stuck.

Cons

Same routine every day made work stale pretty quickly.

Work got a little too "comfortable" (which makes me feel crazy to write in the 'Cons' section), but I wanted to take advantage of my early 20s and experience the crazy rollercoaster world of startups.
