Pluspunten
You get to live in San Diego while working for tech, but otherwise, not much else going for it these days
Minpunten
Outdated technology (e.g. Office 2013). No choice in laptops (must be HP/ThinkPad) and even new hires are given recycled laptops. Benefits aren't great anymore. Health benefits are still paid for, but if you need to do any sort of medical procedure, be ready to pay out of pocket until you hit the deductible. No sense of brand ambassador. Management makes complaints about a certain company's phone line cutting into our profits, yet an entire row of employees is using that company's phones. Talent pool is dry, people don't want to work at/for Qualcomm, so all the new hires are essentially leftovers from other hiring pools. Work/life balance is a myth here, does not exist. Manager is constantly complaining about staying at work until 9-10pm as if they're hinting they want us to stay with them. Middle management doesn't know how to manage, all about shmoozing to get that next promotion.
