Likes

...s working here, Overall very good experience compared to other Indian companies. Work culture, compensation and benefits are excellent here. Employee well being is taken as top priority in making any decisions by the management which will be employee friendly. Sometimes work can be more as there are lot of work and lot of chipsets are planned in the near time, so expect some week end work as well. Once you get into Qualcomm, you will enjoy the work if you love being in product/Semiconductor Company. Lot of opportunities to learn an grow here.

Good pay. Work gives satisfaction but at the same time it gets too hectic( believe me engineers have to stay in office till midnight also if the work is not complete)

Dislikes

Managers micro manage team members and there is a lot of politics involved in work assignment and appraisals. The complaints don't get heard even at higher levels due to politics(since managers and above have been there for around 15 years together so basically you cannot complain about any issue as higher management people have worked together for a long time). Not so open work culture overall.

There are few pros to mention but cons are more, and pros are nothing to think about in front of them

Dislikes

So many. Many people say it depends on the team. But I do see many employees in different teams suffer alot, even the day I do see salary in my account doesn't give me happiness. Pay/Benifits are not at all worth of the suffer that we go through in Qualcomm. Mainly Hyderabad office, I do see lot of psycho people in management and lead positions who makes unnecessary discussions with employees and yell on them for nothing. No body is professional, nothing is organised, too much work pressure, even if there's no work still they will pressure you in some other way, humiliates you, degrades you(though they are actually the degraded ones). Sooo terrible and toxic work culture, that I resigned after 5 months of joining. I regret alot my decision of joining Qualcomm, I rejected lot of great offers from companies with great work culture, for joining Qualcomm, I regret it like anything.

Provides very nice Benefits to employees Job is secure once you are permanent especially in india Company culture is good but that depends on team, some managers dont care about the culture

Dislikes

No work life balance If you stay for more than 4 years you will not get salary and benefits as per the market standards, a new joinee with 1.5 year exp get more salary the person with 5 years exp within qualcomm You need to butter managers boot for promotions or appraisal Most of the teams have labourious work or repeatative work, not much towords skill development or work satisfaction Mostly 10+ years experienced peoples who were not able to switch job to any other company for last decade have ruined the entire culture of qualcomm hyderabad, especially IOT domain, they are not happy with efficient peoples rather they are interested in labours who follow instructions blindly with 0 IQ
