What kind of change does Qualcomm need?
Many believe that this company desperately needs a change in its business model. I’m honestly not sure how feasible this is and I’m almost certain it won’t happen. Just my opinion.
It is the time
I think the time is now to go to the intel. I have exhaustion from all time work and no of the respect. I do not understand pursuit of the guidance from this site. Why does successful engineer threaten departure. If the work is not good then... — read more

Qualcomm's future doesn't look good
I worry about the company's future with the leadership that we have right now. Their decisions are unpredictable and usually disconnected from reality. There is no long term plan or a vision, or at least none that I can see. I like my job, but if I'm... — read more
Switching to Apple
Hi everybody. After working 10+ years for Q, I am thinking this is probably good time to jump the boat. Can you please comment if it is a good move (to go to the fruit company), considering both compensation and working environment?
My only complaint
This is the best company I have ever worked for. I say this without exaggeration. Of course, everything can always be better, but for now I am very satisfied. Sometimes it’s stressful, but that's just the way it is. Although I have learned a lot... — read more
