Good stock options Qualcomm provides great development opportunities, people recognize hard work, salaries are good, One thing I like most is that team members are friendly and really helpful.

Business Outlook

Pros

Q really encourages personal development. There are lots of opportunities to participate in training sessions from interesting external folks. There are also good tech talks from interesting external folks (e.g. CIO of GitHub recently gave a talk). Upper management is open to hearing feedback on how to improve things for engineers. It's a very engineer-centric organization. They're pretty lenient with working from home.

Cons

It can be demanding if you don't know how to stick up for yourself. You have to know how to say "No, I'm going home".
