Pros

It’s a great hardware company, there truly is quality with the modem. Location in San Diego is unbeatable You can stay here forever The espp plan is amazing!

Cons

There is lacking in diversity, majority of engineering employee are Indian or Chinese. This is causing the Qualcomm culture to be similar to the Asian culture of over working. I saw many coworkers working until midnight or even the weekends. We don’t have on-call, but honestly being on call might be better. Moving up takes forever, you’ll be stuck in a role for five plus years
