The worst part of working at Google, for many people, is that they're overqualified for their job. Google has a very high hiring bar due to the strength of the brand name, the pay & perks, and the very positive work culture. As a result, they have... — read more

Remember Qualcommers, we are brothers for life!
I love you all, my fellow Qualcommers. <3
Qualcomm future, all license no in house silicone.
Everything I see leads me to believe the Q is moving toward a business model where they license their IP but no longer manufacture a chip. I suspect it will start in March with a large SD layoff, moving all test functions and a few other departments... — read more

How I got hired at Google and my experience so far
TL;DR: Google is extremely hard to get into (Only 5000 out of 3 million make it), but well worth it. Although only 1% of Qualcomm employees are Google material, I'd highly recommend coming here if you can crack the interview. I left Qualcomm a few... — read more
A friend asked me about jobs at Qualcomm. This was my reply.
Do you like office politics, where everyone fights for visibility and people take credit for work they don't do? Do you like nepotism and cronyism? A place where managers have too much power because the HR process is broken, where managers promote... — read more

All of these fines that keep coming will be expense for buyer company that it has to pay

Qualcomm is asking me to sign a PIP agreement. What should I do?
I got promoted last year, after fall review cycle. I got a "Consistently Meets" on my January reviews. My rating went lower this review cycle, mostly because there was no one vet for me. Most of my team was laid off last month. I have been given an... — read more
Qualcomm is drowning, jump ships while you can.
The work environment will only get uglier. Qualcomm has now entered the notorious Silicon Valley death spiral. As the pie shrinks we will see more politics. The longer you stick around, the worse it will get.
Qualcomm is just like the Titanic
Hit an iceberg, taking on water, and nothing can stop it from sinking. The bow is being pulled under by the weight of the water inside, and the watertight bulkheads do not extend far up enough to save the ship. Titanic split before sinking; JANA... — read more

Sanjay Jha paying these people?
I've perused a few posts here, did Sanjay pay these people? Surely no current rational employee would want him to come back given his track record of late, it would end badly for everyone but one person.
Next wave of layoffs coming soon.
Offices to get hit the hardest: San Diego (~1.4k let go, another 1.5k to be axed) Boulder (~160 let go, another 80ish to go), one building is also being sold.
LIE!!
EU accused Qualcomm of bribes? That's a LIE!!!! We all watched the company's ethic traing video and signed off on it. How can this be???? LOL
