Many believe that this company desperately needs a change in its business model. I’m honestly not sure how feasible this is and I’m almost certain it won’t happen. Just my opinion.

I think the time is now to go to the intel. I have exhaustion from all time work and no of the respect. I do not understand pursuit of the guidance from this site. Why does successful engineer threaten departure. If the work is not good then... —  read more

I visit this forum sometimes to see if there are any new juicy rumors. There are no rumors about layoffs, but there are too many complaints. Do you really think that there is an ideal company in which everything will be just as you imagined? —  read more 

I worry about the company's future with the leadership that we have right now. Their decisions are unpredictable and usually disconnected from reality. There is no long term plan or a vision, or at least none that I can see. I like my job, but if I'm... —  read more 

Hi everybody. After working 10+ years for Q, I am thinking this is probably good time to jump the boat. Can you please comment if it is a good move (to go to the fruit company), considering both compensation and working environment?

This is the best company I have ever worked for. I say this without exaggeration. Of course, everything can always be better, but for now I am very satisfied. Sometimes it’s stressful, but that's just the way it is. Although I have learned a lot... —  read more

I stopped by the forum to see if there were any new juicy rumors, but most of all I saw a lot of criticism that Qualcomm’s business model is outdated. Purely out of curiosity I wonder how you think the existing business model should be redefined? —  read more 

The only problem is Qualcomm is not supposed to be a law firm!

Qualcomm is a great place to work if one is looking to work with leading edge technology! Q always hires the best and brightest and has allowed me to have my selections of jobs - if I ever wanted to leave! But when one is working for the best, why... —  read more

A person who would have a hard time getting a job here before has become a superstar employee, and an employee who has great skills and does great work doing the job he loves has become invisible and irrelevant at Q. How did that even come about, and... —  read more 

I gave my notice and I can't say how happy I'm to be leaving Qualcomm. Three years here were three years too many considering the people I had to deal with daily. What got me, though, is that nobody asked me why I was leaving. Not a single soul. Not... —  read more 

Fire JT now!

If the economy turns around, do you anticipate any Qualcomm layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Heard that 10% layoff cuts are coming. Company is looking to increase the EBITDA in 2022. Be prepared.

Beside way to milk the system is to have an expensive lunch or dinner on Q's dime and then put fake customer names down in the expense report. Mr Pandit is the master of this and has made ten's of thousands of additional income to pay for his... —  read more 

I worked very hard to hopefully get a promotion, but it didn’t happen in the expected time. Obviously hard work is not enough? I'm interested in how hard it was for others to get a promotion here, what other people's experiences are like.

What has been the raise for promo this year? For snr to staff in a core team, the raise was less than 10% :(

How much did you make when your stock vested. I come from a world that doesn’t offer this so I’m curious about what kinda numbers people are talking about.

The PMIC team has had very bad reputation for years. It is known as one of the most toxic departments in Qualcomm. There is no training giving to new hires, you are not allowed to ask questions or make any mistakes, otherwise you will be thrown under... —  read more 

Recently a company called Zeku actively contacted me to ask to join the company (with a lot of promise, of course). Does anyone here work for or know about the company? Any input is appreciated. No bu-----t answer, plz.

Are there any layoff plans? Im really hoping for one to GTFO.

Then I will GTFO

5G will... This is what I have been hearing the last five years.

Thinking of applying to Q but wondering what the COVAX policy is?

Is anyone aware of any attempt (past or present) to form a union inside QCOM?

Does our leadership even want to make Q more innovative? It seems to me that they do not, because they easily give up innovative people to other companies.

I left Qualcomm San Diego couple of years ago after I realized it is not a place for innovation and it is full of toxic office politics. I moved to a better company and I have achieved in the new place much more than what I would have achieved at... —  read more
