Pros

Good benefits, lots of training programs, surrounded by bright people, mostly cutting edge stuff. Facilities are well structured with breakrooms, office space, etc.

Cons

Can get lost in the crowd. Unless you a mover in your field (e.g. robotics, games), you are like a pachinko ball (pinball) hoping to land in an exciting group. There is a move afoot to move towards all cubicles. No pension.

Pros

- Qualcomm has some cool hardware teams in Silicon Valley. - Can be a great place to pick up some embedded software or test engineering skills. - Good work-life balance - Free drinks/sodas

Cons

- Not as many opportunities as San Diego HQ - Feels like projects in the Bay Area are treated as experimental, and HQ is fine cutting entire teams/divisions - Takes a little too long to get promoted. Some employees deserve a promotion at least a year before it finally happens. - Salary is noticeably less than similar companies nearby, but Qualcomm's health, bonuses, and RSU program outweigh most companies.
