I’ve been working at the San Diego office doing PMIC validation for over two years now. My day to day is mostly testing the PMIC chips, screening for defects, and putting together reports and slides. Honestly, once you figure out what to look for... — read more

There comes a point where you have to admit staying isn't doing you any favors. I've reached that point and I'm moving on. My new job is in a much smaller company, and I think it's a good thing. Qualcomm has taught me that in a place this big, you're... — read more 

the world is moving so fast, especially at AI? why work for a wireless company who claimed they can do a PC. Look what the FU.

Management cannot face the reality that laying off employees with babies is totally unethical. Don’t just ask to delete posts. Have the courage to face what you have done wrong. Wish the same fate will happen to their loved ones. A bunch of sick... — read more 

Not a single caring word from management. Feeling nothing for laying off employees with babies. May their children be laid off when they have babies. May no one extend kindness to them when they are in trouble. Fair enough!

I put in my two weeks on Monday because I was tired of doing way more than my actual role required. My manager asked me to take a day to reconsider with a vague promise of future opportunities since they apparently really need me, but then when I... — read more 

Qualcomm produced nothing in AI. Failed to get into data center business. Modem losing market share. Laptop business getting nowhere. Poor employee moral. Investor day failed bad. Investors gave up on the stock. Very bad situation with no way out

Anyone works in RF systems team or work with before? Considering transfer from RF HW team

A roller coaster ride is coming if investors are fooled again. I doubt such investors still exist

The leadership that has been running the company to the ground for several years has decided the failures aren’t due to their own choices — not the years spent pulling engineers away from innovation to chase a commodity PC chip, not the fixation on... — read more 

My uncle retired 8 years ago and still thinks Qualcomm is perfect. He calls me ungrateful for wanting to leave. I really wish I could get him back in for just a single day to do my job.

Heard chatters about Q enforcing minimum hours per day (like Amazon) spent in office in the near future. No more coffee badging. Anyone could confirm if this is a rumor?

AK replacement for mobile

All top performers in my current company come back stronger after taking FMLA for looking after their newborns. Q management was too short-sighted and failed to view “being responsible of one’s household” as a transferable skill that benefits the... — read more 

The F*** CFO is now holding 20K shares in this company, that is $3M. He has no skin in the game anymore and he does not care. His insider trading pattern shows that he has no confidence in the business. For a company of that size and this behavior of... — read more

Thoughts?

Been noticing that entire teams have disappeared and replaced by an AI Jira agent. Which means the work usually taken care of by that team is now my responsibility. How am I supposed to be efficient if I am a single person doing HR work, IT work and... — read more 

This is the only place I've worked where tenure is a disadvantage. New people get attention, praise, and opportunity, while most of long-timers get ignored, overloaded, and quietly pushed aside. The loyalty that used to mean something now feels like... — read more 

Looks like the Qualcomm GPU team operates on family ties. While most people need a relevant Master's degree to get hired, I just get to know that some junior engineers with an unrelated Bachelor's was brought on a few years ago—and legacy hiring like... — read more 

These guys tricked all of us investors for years, and now it is time for them to go and to bring Hock Tan in. He is the only one who can save this sinking ship.

Thanks for a great quarter

Stock has done nothing in 5 years. I'm surprised the they haven't started selling more parts of the company. Typical of tanking companies.

Left after 5 years, no regrets. New role pays 18% more and I actually take my lunch breaks.

Would the all hands on Aug about layoff? or what

Lousy raises and no recognition for anyone, even the top performers. There's literally no reason to put in extra effort anymore.

MediaTek beats Qualcomm and Samsung to secure Pixel 11's modem slot.

An interesting read below: AI may have begun as a race to build ever-larger models, but the battle is increasingly shifting to the infrastructure underneath them. Last week brought two notable reminders: Qualcomm’s nearly $4 billion acquisition of... — read more 

How many new team members you welcomed into the team today? A new guy joined my team. I guess we will be invited to one of local indian restaurants soon for a welcome lunch.

Why doesn't Q invest more in robotic chips? Its expertise in low-power SoCs with integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth seems like a great fit for robotics.

Too much brain drain in US? So counter-intuitive to All In Dia approach.
