Pros

Good perks, very professional and highly talented people and above all........cutting-edge products. The experienced people here are willing to share knowledge and groom new talent which is a big plus for any fresh graduate. Since, Qualcomm is very choosy in theor recruiting process, they trust you with big responsibilities of the projects. If you happen to deliver, then the responsibilities will only increase exponentially. The 6 month review cycle is good because it helps you understand how well you are meeting expectations and not to mention the pay raises every 6 months.

Cons

very competitive, promotions are very hard to get. Its pretty tough to climb the ladder in short time unless you are prodigious.
