My VP: Does not care for anyone which is not caucausian. He hangs out with few directors from same team and keep promoting them only. He spend 1.5hrs at the gym everyday. He goes home early and does not care even if urgent issues arise. Only support... — read more 

Bay Area - Sr. Staff, Salary $170,000, cash bonus $33000, RSU $30-35k, raise 3% Should I stay or look around?

I live in 4s ranch. All my neighbors appear to work at Qualcomm. Worried the market might collapse.

If HT doesn't like the Board, it also means that there will be a mass change in the Executive management because HT wants supportive management once the bid is thru. Mass layoffs at the Exec level expected.

only 350 rsu [base salary 135k] this is not good

If you were promoted this period, what was the promotion portion of your raise? 3.2% here. Pretty weak for a promotion. The regular raise was higher.

... just wait until Broadcom rolls in - miserable severance and multiple phase layoffs - that's the future

Based on revenue per employee comparison between Broadcom and Qualcomm, at least 20% Qualcomm headcount cut is reasonable. That is about 7000 people. On top of it, there will be additional $0.7-1.3B cost reduction in overlapped business like WiFi... — read more

Has to be better than current Qualcomm.......... Thoughts?

Not much talk here about NXP?

Remember to buy devices that use Qualcomm chips . We can do this!

Even if Qualcomm accepts the offer, the deal would still have to be approved. It would be a long and arduous process with no guaranteed outcome. So don't panic about huge layoffs just yet... — read more
