      Large successful organization with some chaos

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Its good to know that the software you write runs on millions of phones around the world. Good benefits package. All the benefits are good and recently the company is trying to mimic Google like culture.

      Cons

      Pay is not great and high level politics can be a pain at times. Large company - and hard to know what other groups are doing. Not software focussed.

      good place to work with bright people

      Pros

      Competent and smart people around you. Good place to gain experience from one of the leaders in wireless industry.

      Cons

      Can get monotonous. It has become a big company with a lot of people in the middle to senior positions. Hence opportunity for promotions and fast growth within the company may be limited.

      People are great, but watch out when you get a performance review

      Pros

      The people that succeed at Qualcomm are those who are extremely dedicated to their jobs. They are always available online or actively multitasking between different projects and customer issues. From the management down to the technicians, everyone is willing to help build the company and motivated to do job correctly. The best part of working here are the honest and dedicated people that you get to interact with daily.

      Cons

      The rewards and recognition system does NOT accurately reflect the performance of a employee. Many times the performance review comments by peers and management are excellent but when you turn the page to look at your rating/bonus/promotion SURPRISE! You are given a little carrot attached to a stick, good job here is some left over change. When you go back to compare yourself to others in your job position and even co-workers that are more senior you feel that you have outperformed but none of it is recognized. My favorite quote was from a coworker "We (QCOM) have record profits and growth, but I'm losing money because my compensation growth is below inflation!"
