Qualcomm Hardware Engineer salaries in Bangalore / Bengaluru

Likes

Best is flexible work hours. Pay is also good.

Dislikes

Pretty bad politics. People will hit you from back and leave you on ground. No one will know. Seems some preferred employees have multiple personality disorders. All major layoffs were targeted towards employees who were just "disliked" by managers and not based on performance. Managers have made it like a old day job and come to office to show their face only. Employees are fighting like cats and dogs to get a promotion which in the end goes to relatives of Directors.

Good salaries Manageable work life balance (depends on the team though) Great job security (in Qualcomm India) Good culture Meals and cabs available Quite a big gym in the campus

Dislikes

...and QC doesn't easily let go of any employee. So, some people are enjoying Govt. job like job satisfaction with much better pay. HR needs to do a much better job in bringing the right talent to the hiring managers and also, in organising employee engagement activities.

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.

Salary compensation and benefits are good

Dislikes

Work culture is horrible but that also depends on the team you are interviewing for. Make sure to connect with the team members on LinkedIn to get more info on the work life balance and satisfaction.
