Pros

Great support for practicing world-class engineering (library, tools, etc.), plus great support for healthy living (on-site clinic, gyms, healthy food, sick days as needed, etc.), work-life balance, and community support (volunteering, charity contribution support, etc.).

Great campus environment (farmers market, festivals, fairs, etc.).

Great learning opportunities (courses on-campus, streamed, and/or on-demand are available).

Cons

It is a big company in a very competitive and rapidly changing industry. You have to be and stay on top of your game. Qualcomm gives you plenty of support, but you have to deliver. You also have to put in some effort to find the right fit for your skills or grow into a new position/role as projects and/or goals change.

Advice to Management

It is a big company, so it would be nice to have a structured internal exchange program to get engineers exposed to other departments and bring with them best practices and technologies.
