Pros

Great benefits. Every building has a gym and most managers are nice

Cons

Too large a company, I used to feel like a small cog in a big machine Qualcomm lacks structure. If you have worked at a process driven company it takes time to understand how things function. Qualcomm is also an old boys club. If you know someone higher up or have been there for years and are well connected you will not have a problem, otherwise you are going to remain where you are. if you stay at QCOM for several years then eventually some of the stock options will be worth money.
