Pros

Amazing benefits - no premiums for healthcare In my department, my coworkers were among the smartest I've worked with. Everyone at this company is high performing and competitive.

Cons

After I left Qualcomm, I received a payout from a lawsuit alleging gender discrimination in the company. From my experience there, this was not surprising at all. I was the only female in my department and often felt over looked - I could describe many situations where this was the case but for brevity I won't. Additionally, this is not the place for working moms. Long hours are expected and I can name coworkers who were passed over on promotions because they were pregnant/ just had become pregnant/ etc. maybe this will change going forward - I hope so - but only time will tell.
