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?
Layoffs or pay raise freezes
Which of the two options would you vote for to temper uncontrolled inflation inspite of fed interest rate increases?
Review score understanding
Hi All, I am Sr. Staff (I have been with Qualcomm 2 years). I have consistently gotten 4 last 2 years, but I was not promoted this year. I am wondering if what is the score to get promoted?
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
Retention Bonus anyone ??
I heard from two colleagues in modem SYS and FW that they received a special RSU grant two weeks ago. I work extremely hard and I did not get any. Anyone got that ?? How much is it ?
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
Undecided
I'm struggling to decide if I should start looking for a new job or stay at Qualcomm. I've been wanting to leave for a while but with all the tech layoffs, I'm worried that if I quit and start over somewhere else, I might be the first one they decide... — 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

Innovations
Now I only ever give advice if asked directly, considering that my manager does not like to hear other people's opinions or ideas, and in the meantime I am planning an exit strategy. Qcom no longer values people who actually love their job and want... — read more
Almost no one enjoys their work anymore
There are many reasons why people here no longer enjoy the job they once loved. Here's a small survey - on a scale from 0 (I don't enjoy my job at all) to 10 (I'm very happy here), rate how much you enjoy your job and indicate the biggest reasons... — read more
So true
So many people on here have no idea what kind of company Qualcomm is. The main issue is that all the workers have no idea what kind of company they work for. Qualcomm's lead ship is working according to plan! Qualcomm's culture has gotten very... — read more
Base Salary
What is your title and base salary at Qualcomm? Sr. Staff, 203K
Are there those who are disappointed after being promoted?
Now I just laugh at the false promises that I will be promoted. I've lost all interest in trying to achieve this because there seems to be no way for someone who isn't a brown noser to get a promotion without going to another company. In addition... — 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?

Qualcomm = recruits special employees
Qualcomm recruits that special employee who thinks they work in leading edge technology! Who is totally dispensable and can be replaced at the drop of a dime but thinks they are special! That employee who makes no money on stock options and is... — read more
Qualcomm = successful new business??
Can anyone name a successful new business Qualcomm has entered in the last 20 years? Or a business that the federal government didn’t have to save Qualcomm from being taken over?? Bc I can’t think of one ☝️????

I heard that qualcomm is going to enter server market, and it acquired a startup founded by ex-Apple employees, wow, what’s going on ?
Skills atrophy
Don't get me wrong - I'm no cheerleader, but when someone starts talking about the atrophy of skills at Qualcomm, it really gets on my nerves. Why do people think that Qualcomm is to blame for the fact that their skills have atrophied? That's so... — read more

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.
Q never has layoffs
Q is the best company in SD! Never has layoffs and is always hiring! Q uses very little H1Bs and only in emergencies. You couldn’t ask to work for a better company, that always takes care of its employees and pays top notch
Massive layoffs at Q while asking for more H1Bs
https://dailycaller.com/2015/07/29/qualcomm-lays-off-4500-workers-while-demanding-more-h-1bs/ Qualcomm has a habit of laying offs a massive amount of people and at the same time asking for more H1Bs to lower cost! Is another round of massive... — read more
Is Qualcomm an innovative company?
What’s the last new invention Qualcomm came out with that actually sold? Is the company still living off the invention of old men from the 90s?
