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 and team people behaviour is good. My team behaves well and respect each other. They will not give you their personal work. They dont play politics here. They will not tell ypu to work on weekends, but you have to work as the work is high

Dislikes

Very high pressure even for freshers, no proper training, they expect you understand by yourself, many people left due to this. No proper training materials, no focus on team building, no focus on empowering new people. Even seniors work till 9 pm , reqwuired at least 3-4 years to know the basics. Worst food So much high pressure that u literraly cry 2 years bond on joining bonus They make you feel you are the stupidiest person on planet. 15-18 years experience guy wants a guy who joined 6 months back to work like superman. They dont teach you anything, you have to figure out by yourself. This is the worst company to work for Work is so much that some days i get back pain and i got fever. If you want to feel this come here, and start writing worst review than this. I never seen any freshers who dont want to leave this company. Work per head is very very high. They make you feel incompetent because you dont know something, How the sm1 will know if you dont teach them or ramp up them Managers dont care about ramp up, they think you will figure out, Their ignorance towards you is your greatest frustratation. And yes i am from top 10 engg institute of the country, you can figure out that well. Please talk to people before joining especially who joined 1-2 years back they will tell you reality and the frustratation

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
