Pros

nice company with great benefits. lots of opportunity to move to different areas and I have seen people grow by having jobs created for them. great activities for employees (such as picnics, evenings out, summer employee music/outdoor events) and a lot of learning resources available to take advantage of. We get free medical and dental benefits which is a definite plus and something I have not seen at other companies.

Cons

There are a few draw backs to working at QCT: QCT has a totally different culture than the rest of Qualcomm QCT employees work an excessive amount of time, often with little recognition Within QCT there is a lot of critical speak that goes on, have thick skin if you join The QCT culture is one of putting out fires -- don't expect a lot of planning to happen to prevent these fires If you are on the business side you need to realize that there is not a lot of recognition outside of engineers

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Cons

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
