Qualcomm reviews

Work ethics are terrible in my department. Backstabbing and favorism are rampant and encouraged. Director/lead brought poor cultural values and has spoiled the work place. This poor culture encourages people to spy on each other and report to the upper management. Director/lead speaks foreign language in the lab and meetings. Managing by yelling and shaming in front of others. No hope for raises, bonuses, or promotions. A lot of good engineers have left already or planning to leave. HR department is useless and helpless, so there is no hope. Not a good place for young engineers.

No sense of work life balance. Forced to work for extra hours without recognition. Extremely poor management, first and second level managers have no managerial skills at all. Boot licking culture is prevalent. No recognition or appreciation for an employee even though that employee is working beyond his capacity. No regard for health or personal issues of employee. If you give an honest negative feedback for anybody, this will not remain anonymous and will come back and and bite you. Why take feedback if nobody wants to improve. Work practices are too slow and inter team dependency will further slowdown your work progress, but this will be counted as a negative point for you no matter what. If you ask for a particular kind of work/team, a straight 'no' is the answer from management.
