We are not only discouraged by the management, but very often we discourage each other. For example, why do some say that Q employees are not in high demand on the job market? I would have to disagree with that discouraging statement because... —  read more 

I was looking at the job openings Q posted on LinkedIn. It's so pathetic: They're looking for people with skills that are IDENTICAL to the people they thoroughly mismanaged and mistreated so badly that they ultimately gave up and quit. People... —  read more

Although I see here that there are many who say that it is not the best idea, I'm still debating whether to try to change the group. Is there anyone here who changed the group, had a good experience and did not regret doing it?

It has been a few months and I've worked closely with a few senior Directors who has been newly promoted last year in QCT. They do not deserve it and they are not capable enough. They are just very good engineers nothing more. The entire promotion... —  read more 

Hard to find another job even for highly skilled qualified people. San Diego housing market likely crash by another 20%.

In January and again mArch.

It seems QC is in search of voluntaries to leave the company before enforcing it. Voluntaries are being offered a slightly better severance package than regular layoff. Window to rise up your hand is this week only. After that, it seems something... —  read more 

Guy in group going to Finland but VP denies Business class and puts him on an Economy flight for 18hrs. Pretty cowardly. Support teams have been holding QC down for a few years. Wonder if the VP is willing to go Economy.

I'm completely burnt out. I'm overworked and underpaid for the amount of work I do, but I'm too much of a coward to quit. I'm at the same time hoping for and dreading the possibility of being laid off. I am stuck and not sure how to get out of the... —  read more 

The CEO needs to strap on a pair of ba--s and cut headcout. We need to trim 10% of the company. Follow the lead of your peers in the industry

The fact that I'm still part of this company makes me sick. Quality used to be important, especially the quality of the workforce, and now it seems as if quality is almost at the last place of interest of our leadership.

It looks like some groups in Texas and Israel are laid off..

Does anyone know QCA's hc reduction percentage? Besides performance based reduction, will there be layoffs too? What's the percentage?

For those of us who have been in this company a bit longer, I think the hardest thing is having to observe the quality of employees and work here nowadays, which is no longer as important and valued as it used to be. I feel nostalgic, but also a... —  read more 

IT reorg transfers leadership roles to India based capability owners. Looking at the new hire list all based in India. Looks like they are going to move all IT to India again. The last one was a complete disaster. Wonder how long we have.

Work has gotten interesting… people walking in egg shells… less collaboration…. And some people have stopped training… maybe to protect their jobs… anyone else notice the tension and awkward behavior or is this just normal??

But why are many here so convinced that there will be no layoffs here any time soon?

It tolls for thee

I see so many young people making the mistake of overworking themselves and taking on other people's tasks in hopes of fast-tracking their careers. Don't. Unless you know the right people, it will not help. What will happen is that you will become so... —  read more

There will only be replacement! Looking to layoff and replace with new H1Bs! It’s the Qualcomm way

They are starting in the New Year

First of how many waves?

In my opinion, whoever thinks that more cuts are not needed is delusional. The only problem is that this company, instead of cutting useless slackers and dead wood, cuts people who do all the work. Just saying.

Hi, is the NUVIA team affected by recent layoffs?

I really don't think the management has taken into consideration how an employee feels when his colleague, who was otherwise an excellent employee and a great performer, is affected. Are they aware of how demotivating it is for us who are still... —  read more

Qualcomm has unusually large number of spouses and siblings in same teams and functions. Set an example, Lay them off starting from the top.

More politically driven And gender discrimination at its peak

My bad I don't belong to the right village

Rumors about cuts are circulating and there is never any transparency here so people are nervous and anxious for a reason. This is a complete mess. I still haven't been notified, I'm safe for now but I'm getting ready to hear the bad news.

What makes me most anxious is the fact that cuts here are rarely based on performance. I wish I wasn't right. I would feel a lot more relaxed if there was some logic when it comes to cuts, but this way it's impossible not to be worried.

Judging by what people write here, it seems that many have already received the notice.

Heard 5 people got the notification today. One in mixed-signal group in SD
