Pros

Smartest electrical engineers around.

Good focus on patents/IP, not just short-term revenue projections.

Work on advanced technology attracts some cool people.

Cons

A large company means opportunities to do things with initiative are by definition hard to do. It tends to have a lot revolving around San Diego.

Advice to Management

Split up QCT. More of the company needs to be self-sustaining besides QCT and QTL. Let acquisitions be small, independent parts of Qualcomm; don't try and bring everyone into "mother" Qualcomm.
