A sweatshop in the USA. Long hours are inevitable. If you have a life at all, let it go before you work here. - Systems Engineer Qualcomm Employee Review

Pros

Some discounts around town for employees.

Cons

# No work- life balance. # Most work almost 12 hours everyday. Not the managers maybe, but for a new recruit, that is a minimum for months. # Salary is very less for the extremely demanding work. # Terrible work culture. # Half the work force is Temp employees. That says a lot about how Qualcomm wants to save more and pay the absolute least it can.

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.
