Go Silicon Valley, Young Men
No hope to stay here waiting for layoff in your 40s. Jobs will be shipped to India bits by bits. Layoff is coming one wave by one wave. What a once great company sliding to a doomed destination.
WT balconies locked again!
What's it all mean?
NXP already started visiting QC, they started questioning the awful organizational matrix
Few comments from them: why do you have many Directors and principals with 1 or no reports? seems like your managers just passed the info from engineering teams, it has been always like this? Our engineering teams are very technical and they know... — read more
Xiaomi making their own processors
I'm surprised no one posted this yet: https://www.engadget.com/2017/02/10/xiaomi-is-reportedly-building-its-own-phone-processor/
Simply synonyms: VP = skin based position, graduated in 80's, rejected from many companies, hired by friends, technically useless.
Senior Director = same as above but appointed by the VP, also 0 interpersonal skills.
HR: Please improve Managers at Qualcomm groups
I recently moved from one department to another via IOS. My previous lead was absolutely horrible and unsupportive during the move/transition. He was quiet pissed and was being passive aggressive. Even though all my task were done related to the... — read more

Indian outsourcing companies garnering most visas, QC is not in the top ten list, you dry these companies out by limiting H1b - jobs likely to stay here.. The government received 618,266 applications for the 85,000 available H-1B visas in fiscal year... — read more
127 Companies fighting against the Ban but QC? Sooo bad
Even on this type of issue behind? QC is so bad that can even protect their own interest. Oh I forgot they are moving all operations to India and Singapore.
There was a time when the QC brand was strong
Left when it first started going downhill. Didn't play the a$$kissing game and focused on doing good work so I didn't get very far there. I'm now making 3x my salary there at a much healthier company and environment. They made it seem like the world... — read more
I would like to run for the job of Qualcomm CEO and Chairman
I pledge that I will have performance equal or better to SM and PJ, as measured by share price appreciation, but at 1/10th the cost in terms of my compensation. This will save investors nearly $1 billion over the next decade, with no loss in... — read more
Nice Job HR for blocking all the nominees for WORST VP & Director in the whole world 2017!!!
Fucing HR keep blocking this "open" and "public" space, I believe they are worry about QC and the Fucing management they have.
Nothing to present or do at super bowl? Very bad for QC
I was able to see companies showing off during super bowl but QC does not have anything!! Very disappointing
Leave this dead zone ASAP if you are young
Just heard a former Q coworker is financially free after moving to Bay Area simply 3 years ago
SM Should Be Held Accountable For $25B Loss of Market Cap
I have a hard time believing that SM did not know about the Apple lawsuit. Qualcomm withheld $1B worth of rebates to Apple and I am sure Apple told Qualcomm of the consequences. Good business practice would have been to settle the issue or give Apple... — read more
What's your title, location and total pay?
Software Engineer | Boulder, CO Total Pay (2016) : 127k (109k base, 8k bonus, 10k stocks)
Qualcomm fellows is time for us to leave for better and green pasture.
Look for a better management, compensation, treatment and fairness in other company in SD or Bay Area, there are plenty of jobs and good engineers who can help with references if needed. The engineers who are afraid of leaving is because nobody is... — read more
If you have Qualcomm tenure, so in love with SD living, then s--- it up. Qualcomm is your choice.
