Good benefits, bad experience - Anonymous employee Qualcomm Employee Review

My departure was very unprofessional. Promoted for my work, then 1-2 months later my product line was shut down. I was contacted by management and told I was safe and to please NOT look for another position. About 4 weeks later I was told there was no work for me and I was given my notice - never saw it coming. Severance was decent and part of the issue was being in a satellite office - but I could have had another position lined up instead of hitting the street. It seemed they were cutting for cutting sake and not targeting less productive personnel.
