For Engineers, Managed by Engineers
Qualcomm is a truly technology company. If you are an engineer and are thrilled to work on cutting-edge technology each morning, Qualcomm is the place. I worked at a division called Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, which produces leading-edge MEMS products for the display industry. The parent company invested well and provided us with many opportunities to experiment and come up with the best ideas. This was a great reason to work for the company. Secondly, the working environment and infrastructure were absolutely great. The company was generous in designing the space, as opposed to several companies which cut corners.
Most of the managers are engineers and not well-trained managers, so you may not get the best people managers.
Get more trained managers from top non-Silicon Valley companies to help institute good processes.
