Pros

Can get to learn a lot from the very highly qualified engineers who work in qualcomm and they have many years of experience.

Cons

Lot of work. Shortage of people. So ends up everyone working a lot of hours which means the effective per hour pay is extremely low.

Top employer for a new grad, great benefits, great culture

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Top benefits, greate stock option, not a lot of company offer RSU to new grads llike Qualcomm. Pay is okay but lower than bay area average. Work life balance okay for my team: 9am-6pm, no extra time in evening for most of time.

Cons

Too many people working on same stuff and this might be because of a huge organization. Some team is hard to deal with, needs to go to mid management for approval if you want some data. Food in onsite cafe sucks and is expensive.
