Amon is claiming that 5G will be ready by April next year. With so many setbacks (latest 7nm fiasco as a cherry on top), God knows we desperately need a win. Delivering 5G before others could definitely get us back on track, but I'm afraid that his... — read more
Now Apple is ahead of us as well
Not that I'm surprised. It's been a while since we were first in anything. Except in litigation. That's where we are the best. But it'd be nice if those on top realized it's products, not lawsuits that make profit for the company... — read more
Stupid trolls here
All the information posted here is c-ap. Qualcomm is doing well. I recently left Qualcomm and I now think that I have made a wrong move looking at the stuff and rumors posted on this site. Qualcomm is doing good and share are again moving in right... — read more
Lay off more Sr.Dir
In my group, after laying off many engineers in April, still 3 Sr. Directors are in charge of one team. 2 Sr. Directors are leading one project, One PM pass message to 2 more PMs, then reach to engineer. .....
Employees numbers to be reduced.
25% starting in November
China slowing, revenue declining, patents expiring.
Lay off in huge numbers are inevitable. Timing need to be decided.
50% lay off looming on Qualcomm in November
I bet on it.

This is what happens when the economy is about to go bust
I know we are told 1000000 times a day how "BOOMING" the economy is, stock market all time highs, etc, etc. But folks, the stock market is ALWAYS at an all time high long after the real economy tanks. Every single time it's been that way. And if you... — read more
Should I be this happy it's weekend?
It's like my birthday and Christmas rolled into one every Friday after work. I really shouldn't be THIS happy to be out of here every single week considering how much I used to enjoy working at Qualcomm. Heck, I even looked forward to Mondays. Oh... — read more

Q ASICS
Just did a test down of the 850, what a piece of c-ap. Very poor density on ASIC and the Windows perf blows. What a joke, fire the ASIC team.
Why amd and nvda is keep rising? Can qc buy it stocks?
Qc has billions. It can buy other stock instead of self and later sold for profit.
ServiceNow
Anyone have an impression of ServiceNow? Stock just ATH 200 today up over 100% in the last year and they are hiring.
Question
If somebody was laid off and received their severance from Qualcomm, can they still be employed by the company down the line? Is there a time limit on it?

Posts dissapearing
I noticed some innocent posts or comments that clearly do not violate any policy here dissapearing, usually overnight. Could be a server stability issue? Also, when typing in a message, website seems crazy slow with every symbol typed. Is it some... — read more
Dutch Auction Push up 3%
Brilliant way to maximize share buyback!
Cuts in right places
I know that while some of us are working with skeleton crews and barely managing to get everything done, others still have too many employees who end up doing pretty much nothing the whole day because there is nothing for them to do. Literally. Cuts... — read more
1B savings goal from 6 month ago
How is the progress towards the 1Bil?
We got lucky
Looks like we dodged a major bullet with Broadcom. I just read that CA Technologies, which they did manage to acquire, is getting ready to lay off 8,000 people! That's two thirds of their employees. I don't think we would have fared any better if the... — read more

Reasons to join Qualcomm
Guys, below are the amazing benefits at LowQualityCommunications: Low pay compared to industry standards Poor benefits Low quality of new recruits(Good ones don't stay, so HR has a mandate to recruit only people from service industry, where they get... — read more
Qualcomm is for losers, and mentally deranged people
Qualcomm has no quality. Only character less, and untalented people work for this sh--ty company.

www.levels.fyi/comp.html move to Sillicon Valley guys lol
For those left behind....
If you plan to find a job in SD with your current salary good luck!! No one in SD will pay that much so prepare to make changes.
QCOM become History?
I think it is all done.
Name One Thing SM Has Accomplished
What has this guy done? Zip nada nothing! How long has he been CEO 5-6 years?
No new info?
Keep expecting to read some new info on possible layoffs but so far I've been out of luck. How come there is absolutely no talk about possible dates and departments? Has Qualcomm really become that good at keeping any future layoffs hidden from us... — read more
Most of the Good Managers & Engineers Have Left
