Pros

- Great new tech to work on - Wide range of areas to expand to in terms of technical knowledge

Cons

- This is really sad to say that a company as big as Qualcomm do not pay well, Salary increases are very low to the point that it is humiliating actually. - In 2022 the inflation rates in Germany reached 11% and even though the company only adjusted the salaries with a 3% increase which is around 120 Euros for a Senior Software Engineer. 120 Euros!! more or less you get a fancy night out that's it!! The sad thing is when I spoke to my manager he told me and this is word for word "Employees are the last thing on the upper management's mind at the moment" I still can't believe a Company as big as Qualcomm treats it's employees with such a mindset...

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.
