I love you all, my fellow Qualcommers. <3

Everything I see leads me to believe the Q is moving toward a business model where they license their IP but no longer manufacture a chip. I suspect it will start in March with a large SD layoff, moving all test functions and a few other departments... — read more

Unfortunate, going to be huge lay off

TL;DR: Google is extremely hard to get into (Only 5000 out of 3 million make it), but well worth it. Although only 1% of Qualcomm employees are Google material, I'd highly recommend coming here if you can crack the interview. I left Qualcomm a few... — read more 

Do you like office politics, where everyone fights for visibility and people take credit for work they don't do? Do you like nepotism and cronyism? A place where managers have too much power because the HR process is broken, where managers promote... — read more

I want my 15% and to GTFO

I got promoted last year, after fall review cycle. I got a "Consistently Meets" on my January reviews. My rating went lower this review cycle, mostly because there was no one vet for me. Most of my team was laid off last month. I have been given an... — read more 

The work environment will only get uglier. Qualcomm has now entered the notorious Silicon Valley death spiral. As the pie shrinks we will see more politics. The longer you stick around, the worse it will get.

EU accused Qualcomm of bribes? That's a LIE!!!! We all watched the company's ethic traing video and signed off on it. How can this be???? LOL
