One of the most boring jobs I've ever had
One of the most boring jobs I've ever had
The benefits at Qualcomm are very good -- free medical, dental, and vision.
There's a decent 401K match.
The ESPP is good too (the stock is doing very well).
They offer a free gym membership.
There's a good work/life balance here.
Compensation is also pretty good (but I can't comment on the bonus plan).
This was one of the most boring jobs I ever had. It turned out to be more of a sustaining/maintenance role. Bug fixing occupied about 80% of my time. There's very little feature development going on in San Jose. Most of the significant work is happening in India.
Put more effort into assigning work and projects to San Jose-based engineers so that they will feel as if they have a stake in the success of QCA.
