Pros

See your projects quickly become a product in the market.

Cons

No life outside work, not much of intellectual growth. Since products need to come to the market quickly, most of the time you don't end up developing anything new. Minor technical changes are required to commercialize these products. If you have a bent for learning new ideas, this is not the place. If you want to work like a machine and be happy with the benefits, then this is the place.

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.
