...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.

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

Salary compensation and benefits are good

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.

Only starting package is good as per market.

Dislikes

Culture at Qualcomm is worst. Managers are like robots, no human thing at all. Staff Engineers thinks they know all, they are RIGHT. Close minded people works at Qualcomm. No team bonding. You can't grow here technically.

Benefits are good, and salary, hike all of these are good. Offices are good too. Free food, cabs, are all nice.

Dislikes

The new CEO Christiano Amon is not good. He is ruining the work culture of Qualcomm by making it too difficult for employees to work. Policy changes are random and crazy at times.
