Qualcomm R&D Engineer Hardware salaries in Chennai

Likes

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.

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.

Likes

Compensation is competitive and is on the higher side in the industry atleast in India.

Dislikes

WLB is non-existent mostly. Managers unapologetically expect engineers to work extra hours every day, weekends also. If you prove you can do the task, brace yourself for more tasks citing efficiency as the reason. Stress is a regular affair.

Working on Technical things, non-technical is very less.

Dislikes

...in, not much scope for wider growth 4. Upper management sounds non-technical 5. Pay is average and not as per experience 6. Groupism and favoritism across team 7. No clear direction for promo 8. No appreciation

Salary and other benefits are good only for engineering team.

Dislikes

They will use the people and throw out unless you are in good book with director or VP level. Everything is politics. Womenism - if your manager is women then your life becomes hell. They don't give respect
