Pros

A very fast paced startup culture, which is good and bad. Good: you learn a lot from trying to apply new design concepts.

Cons

Bad: Very aggressive (unrealistic?) deadlines that need to be met while trying to apply concepts that you have just learned.

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.
