Rumor has it if you are over 50 and have been employed with Qualcomm for over 20 years that your names will automatically be added to the layoff list. Talk about an age discrimination lawsuit. If it is true, I hope all of those employees affected... — read more

No sales for Mav. 50% Sales for SS No sales for OPPO No sales for VIVO Nothing for Huawei Nothing for ZTE Almost 0 for Moto And still having 30K employees? Very weird the way QC does business

Hi, Was wondering before I get a date to join , is there a work life balance at qualcomm ? Can someone share experience.

Soon march 6 meeting will decide the big thing. If brcm wins, there will be 3 times bigger layoffs. And eventually qcom brand name will be gone but just a few products related to the modem connectivity.

Any news from Morehouse campus QR&D?

Why are we surprised? Companies belong to their shareholders and we are mere pawns. Remember working hard at uni? And then making it to a top tech company? All for nothing. Deal with it.

If this is true, the sales will be very ugly in the following year considering their market share in China. Not even mention that royalty loss due to under report the phones with other vendor’s chipset... — read more

Get back to work and restore the honor and glory of Qualcomm

70 rules has got me. Is this just qcom or pretty much industry common? if i knew, I would get out already.

Minimum 3 weeks, one week per every year served, not exceeding 6 months. Financial condition deteriorating after nxp deal with increased share price. This is new Qualcomm way. Bear with them.

Expected about 4200 employees get lay off notices over 12 months time. First lay off to start in April/May
