Principal engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Proudly display the badge at QCOM 2. After putting in years of life -- you might see some benefit. To be somebody from nobody -- it will take years.

Cons

1. Too much work pressure. If you want to life a long life, do not be here. 2. If you want early life diabetes, BP -- welcome to QCOM.

Good colleagues; poor managers, and very slow career growth

Principal engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Benefits and very bright people. If you are lucky and working on a reasonable project, it can be fun.

Cons

Upper management believes in its own technical skills too much. They won't branch out and won't understand new things. They understand at one level that the licensing business won't last forever, but don't actual support the people they hire who understand other businesses and technologies. The growth opportunities are also very, very limited. It's a "time in grade" approach to promotion.
