No matter which way this goes, a lot of employees are screwed. If we acquire (it seems now that it's a done deal) NXP, there will be major layoffs in both companies as a result of consolidation. If we are acquired, there will be major layoffs in both... — read more 

Am getting an offer from Qualcomm. Can someone weigh the pros and cons for a new joinee at this moment ?

Hock Tan will give up and acquire another company. Keep throwing the poison pills Qualcomm!!! WE THANK YOU! Long Live the Q

Qualcomm set to win EU approval for $47bn deal for NXP Green light for biggest chip deal may help in fight against hostile Broadcom bid

gold·en par·a·chute ˈɡōldən ˈperəˌSHo͞ot noun, informal: a large payment or other financial compensation guaranteed to a company executive should the executive be dismissed as a result of a merger or takeover.

It's confirmed. In an attempt to make Qualcomm more attractive to BCOM we are 'restructuring' which will involve a layoff of about 1000 personnel worldwide.

No Qualcomm layoff in today’s published WARN report. This is great news as SM JT CA are guiding us to victory! Go Qualcomm! Together We Can!

Even the board is not to replaced, this guy has to be replaced!

GOOG and MSFT is creating a new joint venture to fund its counterbid to keep QCOM’s position as the research wing of cellular industry intact and to thwart these behind the door efforts from AAPL to kill QCOM with AVGO as its mask. The deal will be... — read more 

And a lower stock price.

Easy choice.

A bold new direction, with a slightly different font

Remember this is all about a "foreign" hostile takover by a company who is known to quash innovation .This is no American company by any means and i think there is a lot of shareholders who might "be damned" to see Qualcomm ,a home grown American... — read more 

Had to admit their products have security gaps. Didn't say which devices. Could this be any worse?

I am perplexed .Before Christmas it was indicated in the press that they would increase their bid . Why didnt they ??????? What does this signal?

Is the severance package communicated over the break enforcenable when the change in control occurs via a hostile takeover?

Another stumble by Qualcomm executives. $70 a share from Broadcom is looking real good. Expect QCOM stock to drop Monday on the news...

Be strong! Be Qualcomm strong! This is going to be our best year ever. We have the best products! Best technology! And most importantly we have the best leadership. With SM CA and JT leading we are invincible!

"So kind of @Qualcomm to confirm at 2.30pm PT on a Friday that its processors are affected by Meltdown and Spectre, too

Found some food real cheap, ready to start the American dream and start selling it from the trunk of my car. I'll be between R and Q at 11:30am, open for business!!

Stop feeling as though you are "entitled " to work at Qualcomm indefenitely . Nothing IS forever and nothing LASTS forever -if you thought it was then that was your first mistake my friend.

Embrace change because it always brings opportunity. Don’t let fear of the random drain your energy or dreams. Work, study, play hard and enjoy the ride

I guess they are happy they used the cheapest design and verification engineers they could find.

Haven't heard from QCOM yet, but a news article said ARM cores are affected. Doesn't QCOM use ARM cores? Trouble ahead?

Great news ! Layoff canceled in 2018. Thank you SM JT and CA!

The security flaw in their chips (which will lead to performance reduction to fix) is exactly what AMD and Qualcomm need to take away a sizable share (10-20%). Time to hammer them hard.

So here is the storyline about how Apple is supposedly behind the Broadcom takeover attempt. I have pieced this together from various watercooler conversations and chats with people inside and outside of Q. By now, it sounds plausible enough to me to... — read more 

Prospective employee here. Which group is better to join as a system engineer, assuming salaries and benefits are the same?

I am a so called "old dinosaur" of Q as lovingly referred to by a bunch of you whiny, immature wannabe retarded engineers and OTHER employees. With over 20+ years with Q, I have seen and experienced the glory days of Qcom. I have rode the gravy... — read more
