You just call them and say you changed your mind. They will ask why so be honest and tell them there is too much risk in joining a company at a time of massive layoffs. If they say you don't have anything to worry about say ok I Want a written guarantee signed by the CEO that I will not be fired/layedoff for 5 years. If they say ok go for it.
Good luck to you.
168958: My honest opinion is that if i had an offer somewhere else, i would seriously consider that one, even if it pays a little lesser. IMO, once you join a company, one can get into a mode and loose the incentive to look for a new job, after they realize they probably don't like what they are doing or the culture. Years go by and it gets easy to be complacent. Here, I found myself loosing a lot of time and skills that I could have gained in other companies that has far less politics at engineering level. Not worth finding this out down the lane. If you are a sw guy, I really think this company has little to offer.

169825: You have got to be kidding, right? Despite of bitter engineers…? QC without engineers is just a bunch of lawyers (lots), MBA’s, HR, and the loser executives. QC is factory, as it manages to turn professional engineers into a factory worker bees. Once you have worked at QC for more than a couple of years, you are damaged goods. Rest of the chip industry can’t use you, because you have become a single task robot.
Despite the bitter folks who were cut (read: engineers), this is still a very solid company.
No, there is no legal binding for you to arrive. Just tell QC HR the truth, that you subsequently received a better offer from another company. Or maybe you haven't yet, in which case you just tell them that you prefer to remain unemployed. You could further explain that after reading all these negative comments, you've decided that you'll never work at all. (but don't tell your parents about this last bit)
I have not applied for a job at Q in months and yesterday staffing called me to schedule and interview. I guess more are leaving than they expected ?
@ 169085: If that'st true, where can we get some real information about the corporate cultures of companies? I hate censorship in any form in a free speech society!
On this site, pissed-off comments are from QC employees, overly positive comments are from HR.
Glassdoor is heavily edited by employers
2nd 169054: Don't let the drivel on this forum discourage you from giving your best try @Q. Go for it!! P.S. I'd check glassdoor as well, though.
OP: First, a lot of the people who post on this board are pissed off--and with good reason. Many of them have been here (--at QC--) for many years, received excellent reviews, and their work helped the company secure many patents. In short, they have made many valuable contributions, and resent being regarded as an excessive "expense." Second, there are also a lot of people who post on this board who will bitch about anything--even if they haven't been affected by the layoff. If they aren't bitching, they will make fun of those who were less fortunate. Third, if you were recently hired, you have a few things going for you--the most obvious being that QC needs your skills. Whether you should quit is up to you to decide. You can leave any time--usually with 2 weeks notice. If you do decide to leave, use a formal resignation letter written in neutral professional language, and deliver copies to your manager and HR. (There are lots of examples on the internet. Keep a copy for your records.) Finally, if you need a job--and most of us do-- it would be better to wait until you have a better offer in hand to turn in your resignation. You are more likely to get another job faster if you are currently employed.
Thank you for applying. Now f*** off
Tell HR you want to GTFO.
Tissue is not included
Just like any other place. Tell the HR person who gave you the offer that you have changed your mind. Dont expect to get another offer from qcom if you change your mind again
