Qualcomm

Pay is average. Was a stable, safe company. Stock awards were good for the top performers. Was nice travelling to San Diego from time to time.

I get ashamed of how rubbish and technically incompetent some of the managers are. I don't understand how they were ever promoted. That doesn't speak very highly of the top managers.

Executive management think they understand the market; they obviously don't. They have been negligent at best.

The environment is pretty toxic. Nobody cares about anybody. You need to set your limits and set expectations right from the first day or face being exploited.

The company is focusing on moving most teams to India. Low quality, but they will work for peanuts and long hours. I am sure Qualcomm will learn the hard way; just rubbish will come out of the India projects. There is no innovation.

Sell the company while still someone thinks it has a great future, and before Indian teams take over and spin a bunch of mediocre and architecturally unfit chipsets.
