      QuIC and Open Source

      Principal engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of important problems to solve. There's commitment to open source since it's central to Qualcomm products (Android).

      Cons

      Difficult if not impossible to work directly in open source projects. Be prepared to work anonymously and to not be able to build credibility in open source projects where meritocracy is the name of the game (pretty much all).

      Qualcomm very good place to start career

      Principal engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      good for starting a career for software engineers. work for 2 to 3 years you'll learn a lot and after that you do well if you are a superstar category. If you like to write software which sits very close to the hardware then this is a great place for you. It is also great place if you want to work in research (RF, modem, wireless) as qc puts $1billion+ in R&D every year.

      Cons

      In software groups, moving up on the ladder is through curve fitting like min 3+ years in title unless you are a super star. work-life balance is not a focus at lower titles. San diego is not a great place for software jobs so your best buddies from past years may not be around to hangout with you. If you don't care much for those friends and fully driven by work then Qualcomm is the place for you.
