Every Full time/Contract employee hired by Qcom, needs to go through a typical one day long Face-to-face interview process, where the candidate's resume is evaluated thoroughly. This must be made mandatory by Qcom policies.(Every other company does... — read more
Whats up with our Chief blogger( sorry Scientist)...Staying,going?
I immensely benefited wisdom he shares with all of us. but I am worried that he may be laid off due to too much non-work related emails during work hours. I hope he stays as his investment and home repair advice are pretty good...

Take a look at the top layoffs if all time.
http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2011/12/07/the-biggest-corporate-layoffs-of-all-time/ All happened at or near a recession. I checked two (Daimler and ATT) and both represented about a 12-14% RIF. Sound familiar? So a couple of takeaways if 4k-5k is real... — read more
Can someone please give the man who asked at the All hands meeting if the top executives would take dollar pay to set an example a high five!
That guy was prepared and very brave! He had rebuttals for all the side stepping responses. Watch the stream at the end if you don't know what I'm talking about.
Have you slowed down recently?
I don't know, but it seems like my entire group just doesn't give a shit anymore and has slowed down significantly. And it goes as high up into some of the more senior managers. I see people actually leaving work at normal hours, sometimes even much... — read more
Lol. I haven't joined my new company yet, but my RSU stock grants have already increased by 15% since the day I closed on my negotiated offer
...And it's only been about 3 weeks. I hope this tech trend in stock price bubble keeps going up for the remainder of the year or two.

Don't believe all you read here
Who is writing this stuff here? More than half of it is lies and guesswork (and filth). The "brave guy" works in my building is still there, hasn't moved anywhere. The CE execs named are still there. That's as far as I'm going to go to look into the... — read more
The reorg email is hilarious. "Aa many of you already know" is the opening line. How are we supposed to know?
Will the same treatment happen when the headcount reductions come out? "As many of you already know" isn't a good intro for official company announcments. It shows how little faith they have in keeping their mouths shut beforehand.
Am I the only one who isn't afraid of being let go?
I've been through layoffs now with 2 other companies. It's not a big deal. If it happens so what? Use the opportunity to find a better job or start something on your own.
LAYOFF ONLY AT UPPER MANAGEMENT
GUYS WILL BE ONLY LAYOFF AT UPPER MANAGEMENT LEVEL!! WOHOOOOOOOOO
Next week will pass Qualcomm announced the layoff of 4,000 people

Housing impact due to possible QC layoff's ( 4s ranch, Del Sur, Caramel valley)
.But if the layoff's happen, as speculated on the board ( 1500- 4000). I have no insight into the possible layoff number. Just dont want to hold bag with the mello roos What would be the impact on the above housing area's. Is the prices already... — read more
Just reversed my stock position on the Q and am going long....
Looks like a big reorg and layoff is indeed happening. That's good news for shareholders. Good luck everyone. I wish the best for the ones impacted by this....Shareholders first though...
I for one am finally glad the churn is out there for Qualcomm...Maybe with some bigwigs let go...
We can now have more startups and incubation to an otherwise stagnant job market in SD. QC has been way too dominant of an employer for tech people in SD. And it's unhealthy for tech workers to only have one major employer in town. So, with churn, it... — read more
did u get the email of reorg?
strange,i did not get it
Whatever happened to the brave guy at the "All hands meeting" that questioned M about the ship sinking?????? U still at the Q???? Curious
how that went for him?
Can anybody speak to what it is like living , not working in SV ???? Is the weather and daily life such as schools, traffic , demographics ,
social culture , extra curricular activities etc similar to here in San Diego? I know about the cost of living with housing etc. but i want to know people's knowledge of the other stuff? Any info or insight will help us all .Thanks
can't sleep worrying about layoffs and impact following it ....my worst fear of all is that SM announces the number but says it take place over
the course of several months .....that will be unbearable to keep waiting and wondering will i go? Will go with a package ? will i go on a questionable PIP with nothing? Questions questions questions and nothing but worries at this point . PLEASE... — read more
Not sure how amidst these bad days, QC could afford the construction of AZ, AY and renovation
AZ and AY are being heavily invensted upon. Huge amounts of money being spent for beautification and gardening! maybe those buildings alone justify layoff of ~100 eamployees each ironically
It's not fair to target such a great company
For all those who righteously worked their butts off and are staring at the pink slip. Remember your best days are just behind you. You can't hate Q they made you, took care of you and your bills for real. Hope to Lord, that your skills is up to... — read more
What software skills are in demand right now?
I have had enough of the incessant rumor mongering and rampant racism in these parts. Let's discuss something useful for a change. I am sick and tired of working on the C\C++ filth that Qualcomm peddles as 'software'. Besides, it looks like these... — read more

Guess what is tough for a lot of us is that if we get laid off we are out of options here in San Diego ......it will mean an unwanted move if
we want to work in the industry. A lot of us have spouses , houses kids ....you know a LIFE. ..... a LIFE that will be deeply affected. Guess we thought we were here forever and maybe that was our mistake.....
For the guy who is spamming with "If you've been laid off" posts
