Pros

Very dynamic and fast paced work environment. Collegues are very competent and work long hours. Benefits package is good. Vast majority of folks have their own private office (instead of cube). Management is honest and ethical. Not a whole lot of politics or bickering that I am aware of amonst the rank and file. Review process is quite fair and open and happens every 6months. Lot of visibility at upper management level in terms of who is working on what and hence, definitely not a place for slackers to go and hide somewhere.

Cons

Not much in terms of career growth and promotions are hard to get. Merely being brilliant is not enough. Be ready to put in the extra effort if you want to go to the next level.

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.
