Pros

QC's at the top of their game. Executive management understands the need to invest in the future, and certainly puts its R&D dollars where its mouth is.

Cons

Executive management's philosophy is much the same as the rest of the industry: Favor large teams of cheap (mediocre) engineers rather than paying more for top talent. An exec quipped about a conversation he had with a customer: "You may have 500 really smart engineers, and we may have 5000 really dumb engineers, but we still have 5000 engineers." The pursuit for top talent is dead at QC and the rest of the industry, in favor of cheap talent.

Pros

Very professional and friendly coworkers. Everyone made me feel welcome from day one. The perks of working at Qualcomm are like nothing you will see at your normal company. All the break rooms are stocked with complimentary drinks, fruits, snacks, etc.. The pay is great ( for those who say its average they need to get real.. Very good considering the job climate right now). Health benefits are incredible. They offer $0 deductible health benefits. This would have cost me 9k a year at my previous employer for a family plan. On site gyms with tv's. Bi annual pay bumps. Stock options. What more could you ask for?

Cons

Tough to get a job here.
