Pros

$ a generous package to feed the family, bonus plus stocks. A top-tier wireless chipset company to learn from. If you are working in an electronics-related career, carrying the name of 'Qualcomm' could bring you further in your next career.

Cons

Layoffs are always happening, no reason needed, low morale as you don't know when you will be next. Policy applies to non-VP levels. Directors or above only need to travel business class, stay in 5-star lodging, and please their line managers for not being laid off next round. I barely see their productivity, only huge spending groups.

Advice to Management

Layoffs should not happen that often. That brings low morale, and staff would be disheartened to contribute to the company. Other than looking at the numbers (HC/Opex) from your executive management team, please hear the feedback from managerial working-level staff.
