Pros

- Trainings ( but you may not have time for them at all) - Good benefit - Job security - Good start for the fresh graduates

Cons

- No management support . You need to drive/figure out/push around solely by yourself. Management is doing nothing but taking credits. No 1on1 meeting from the direct manager for half a year. - Non-realistic deadlines - Long long hours. 60 hours per week is nothing, and you are not appreciated. You'd better working 24/7. - No life. You are supposed to be a machine, not a human being. - Does not have collaborative culture. - If your project lead is from another team, you are always the scapegoat for project being behind the schedule even if they were behind far before you joined in.

Pros

-> You can do a lot of work without getting paid much.

Cons

- > Qualcomm HR is really really bad and they try to take advantage of people thats why they always go and hire people from companies who have recently laid off people because in desperate times people are ready to take up any position and at any salary, they specially do that with international's working here. I have not seen any other similar company do this. -> Qualcomm wants you to work all day and night and then doesn't want to reward you for it, not even a pat on the back. -> they have tons of directors, yes Qualcomm likes to give lofty positions to people and they have so much hierarchy in terms of positions that a person joining at a lower level feels like a useless worm here. -> the so called upper management never cares to talk to employees. -> Promotion system is totally vague and seems highly unjust.
