QCOM - Very challenging work, great benefits/bonuses. CRAZY LONG WORK HOURS IN QCT - A SWEATSHOP
Challenging work, very professional staff, great benefits, industry leader, room to grow.
If working in the largest division, QCT (Qualcomm CDMA Technologies), it's a sweatshop, sweatshop, sweatshop. Expect 60+ hour weeks routinely unless you are very good at pushing back. That is why they are industry leaders - they extract more output per employee than similar companies at the expense of the employee.
What's the point? They won't listen.
It's a public, shareholder-driven company. No one cares about work-life balance.
To solve that will require hiring more people, which means a potential cut in profits. It's a machine.
People only fool themselves when they think, "A corporation cares about me."
