Company culture

Someone recently asked me about the corporate culture at Qualcomm. How would you describe it? Am I too bitter if all I see around me is unhealthy competition, backstabbing, nepotism, taking credit for other people's work and the like?

I can't wait to leave and be unavailable

Close your laptop and do not answer emails after a certain hour and on weekends. I had people try to reach out at all hours, weekends, etc. When they realized I would not answer no matter what they stopped. Basically, this is a great advice, but... — read more

Pretenders are more valued

Every day I convince myself that here it is best to just act - to pretend to be doing something. This is probably the reason why the company has, in my opinion, more pretenders than hard working people. How is it possible that those who talk a... — read more

We are all easily replaceable

This is how the decision makers at Qualcomm think, that we are all replaceable and they make it very clear to everyone. Is there any way for someone to make themselves less replaceable at his/her job here? Generally speaking, nobody's job is safe... — read more

Little room for growth

I know that no matter how much effort I put in I will not be promoted, so I have lost all motivation. I am a bit skeptical whether the situation is any better with direct competitors in this regard. Thoughts?

They easily give up their talent to competitors

I know several people who were very much undervalued here and who, after they left, became star employees in other companies. What has Qualcomm become? A nursery of talents? I'm disgusted with how this company is being managed.
