Pros

The engineers are QC are sharp. There's a good amount of young talent, and the company is doing well financially. The benefits package is excellent, and San Diego is a fun town to live in. People are generally friendly and helpful. And it's fun to work on popular consumer products and see other people carrying them around. Management reviews happen every six months, so there is a relatively rapid feedback cycle.

Cons

The hours can be difficult. A lot of client companies are in Asia, so travel may be required. Real estate in San Diego is expensive (although prices are falling fast).

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.
