Pros

A capable group, doing custom CPUs and large scale server chips. Cutting edge work, interested employees, better than average local wages

Cons

Destroyed entire group, going into second round of layoffs which will leave < 10% of prior employees. Poor management planning for the group, all of our tech will be shelved and die.

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.
