Pros

Qualcomm is a great company to work at, work culture fosters innovation. The company also has very good opportunity to grow. Technical and non-technical learning opportunities for employees are abundant.

Cons

Can be political at times. Some groups in Qualcomm can greatly benefit from more diversity. The company should also invest more in R&D for groups other than its core competency (modem).

Pros

Amazing growth company, who are playing in growing markets (wireless communication standards and communication chips) Growing stock price, which means equity based compensation is meaningful Generally speaking, talented professionals and well managed company

Cons

This is specific to QCT engineering organization: Given the level of specialization required for many roles, its difficult to move from one team to another If you have a good role, and are in a good team, you are in a very good spot. If not, its not as rosy, as its not very easy to change teams. Also, base compensation lags other tech companies; Qualcomm makes up for it with the overall package, but the monetary compensation can be higher.

Pros

The people are some of the best I've worked with and are always ready to share their knowledge. Managers are also very invested in your career. The work-life balance is good and the benefits are top notch.

Cons

The work isn't the most exciting and can be stressful/frustrating at times due to tight deadlines or project cancellations.
