Pros

Good benefits. Able to work alongside some of the brightest engineers in the field.

Cons

Work life balance is nonexistent. Stocks, bonuses, and merit increases get worse each year. More hours are expected each week without the compensation to make up for it. People are getting burned out.

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.
