Pros

Excellent benefits and work-life balance.

Employees are smart and productive, mostly.

Management is supportive of outside work activities.

Cons

To some extent, QUALCOMM has become like a government office.

People who work hard, really work hard, but there are slackers who have been here for years and are not fired or laid off.

The bonuses and salary are also not great.

One problem with being in QUALCOMM is that there is no other company in San Diego where you can move, so you have to be satisfied with the salary that QUALCOMM pays you.

Advice to Management

Be fair. Give bigger bonuses and fire the slackers.
