Great company for anything hardware/chip related, not so great for anything else
If you love to write low-level commercial code that will go into Qualcomm's chips, thereby impacting their bottom line, Qualcomm is a great company to work for. The benefits are top-of-the-line, and there is good work-life balance.
Not much focus on areas other than those that impact their chipset bottom line. Low contributions to the open source community compared to other big companies. As far as research is concerned, in any area other than wireless, more emphasis is laid on short-term gain rather than long-term impact.
Need to be less averse to risks and increase emphasis on longer-term projects.
Improve contributions to the open-source community and research/science in general.
