      Qualcomm is GREAT if you happen to be in San Diego - anywhere else, you're an afterthought.

      Pros

      The office atmosphere is very nice. Everyone gets an office with a door that closes. The people are generally vital and energetic, and as a result there is a very positive energy throughout the company.

      Cons

      If you're not in San Diego you are a very 2nd class citizen of the company. Benefits are all keyed to San Diego. Do a good job? Here's a coupon for a spa in San Diego. Oh, you live in Portland? Too bad. But hey, here's a perk... a "passport card" that gets you discounts at 1000s of San Diego area merchants, shops, and restaurants!

      Pros

      They provide really good benefits. They also provide the option for flex accounts, and matching 401k. Provides training opportunities. You will learn a lot working with the smart people here.

      Cons

      Not enough team building activities. Not enough communication between teams. Long hours and stressful/aggressive schedules. Compensation is not very competitive given the cost of living. Also it may be hard or impossible to go to work and school at the same time, since you have aggressive schedules to meet. If you happen to be going to school while working here, expect that your career growth will be very slow during the time you are in school. You will not be given critical task and assignments which allows you to shine/move forward in your career path.

      Pros

      The company has Flexible hours, so it makes it easy to do the work whenever you want to. The compensation includes also Good package, which includes a good salary and health care. The work is also interesting, as you are always working on new technologies which are yet to come out. There is also strong encouragement to enhance your techie-skills. They have monthly classes on the hot communication topics which allow you to learn and keep up-to-date with whats going on. Qualcomm also organizes various events every now and then such as "Summer on the Lawn". Also, being in San Diego, the weather is always awesome and always a ball to hang out on the weekends.

      Cons

      Unforeseen issues that come up and have to solved immediately
