Qualcomm Senior Engineering Lead Hyderabad / Secunderabad Reviews

Likes

If you are lucky enough to get work related to your interest, only then you can enjoy the work here and feel satisfied. You will find smart people to work with but only at Engineer and senior Engineer level. Most of them leave after that since they realize that most of the folks at higher levels seriously lack the required skills and talent.

Dislikes

Managers lack leadership and technical skills. All they know is to give a foolishly set deadline and all they can say is to finish the work by then, They have no sense of how much work, effort and time is required for any task. They lack communication and leadership skills on top of being terrible at management. All they do is cry, cry and cry. Salary is way below market level and on top of which they will find roundabout ways to deduct the salary. ex. they will give you low rating (specially for new joiners) and deduct 50% of your bonus and Stocks right away. A lot of boot-licking is expected. How much you can pamper your manager determines your growth. So Sycophancy is the most desired skill here. They don't care about your technical skills and background. They will give you some random work depending on the Manager's wish. The company executives do not have any technical knowledge of the system and they make the decisions based on only immediate need without any consideration for future business and prospects. The code is a complete mess. Multiple branches for each chipset causes too much of maintenance nightmare and they will make you stay nights just to be tangled in those branches. Don't even talk about testing and code review. Company boasts about many employee friendly policies but they have a different face inside. For ex. you will be entitled to many leaves every year, but you won't be able to use them at all. If you take leaves, your annual review will be impacted. So most of the leaves are just wasted at the end of the year....Read More
