Pros

Good place that supports employees and has a bright future. The salary and benefits are good and the management is responsive and looks out for the employees. The company itself is in an excellent position, with lots of cash and a position to keep its prominence in the field into the future. So if you can get into a high design position, you'll get to work on a lot of cool and upcoming technologies. The daily routine, the physical plant, the offices, the work environment are very pleasant. Overall, a job here is a nice, safe, good job to have.

Cons

The hassles of a huge corporation, being put into a tiny role. This may be my personal prejudice coming out here, but I've asked to do more and try more variety in what I work on, but I can't get out of my own tiny job now. The manager thinks there's too much for me to do, so I'm spending all my time on a job I'm bored with. So I may personally have to leave soon, but that's just my specific story.

Pros

Great benefits, the pay is like okay. Some cool reimbursement programs and health centers on campus

Cons

Career progression and culture varies extremely depending on department. Some parts almost set you up for failure and it's difficult to gain new skills. Lots of qualcomm teams are too scared to explore new technologies and migrate to state of the art services and are comfortable in sticking with old technology for familiarity. Also, HR does nothing if a coworker makes you uncomfortable.
