time to sstop cooperating with incompetent offshore folks in India. 90% of them dont understand tech

By that I don;t mean the comments on sites like this, but how did the Apple folks take the end of the dispute. I imagine a lot of you know someone who works at Apple, so it would be interesting if someone posted if we had some info on what do they... — read more 

Use to see people get cut all the time, not to mention reading the reports about actual layoffs on this board. Haven’t seen anyone get cut for a while and this board seems to be more about general subjects recently. Is it possible that we’re in a... — read more 

Anybody else think that MAV will get the same level of tech support as they did in the past? I would fricking hope that the A team is NOT assigned that thankless task.

Seems that many people think that our troubles are behind us. The dispute with Apple has been straightened out, our business practices are relatively safe, and 5G , which is marked as the biggest profit maker in the future is just around the corner... — read more 

For those who are on their way out of Qualcomm - or those who have already left - what is the main reason? Pay? No job security? Benefits? Something else entirely?

Apple could have waited a few more weeks for the FTC trial verdict. It wouldn't have materially changed their overall 5G picture by much. My 2cents, it wasnt intel bailing or 5G that made it change their mind.. Possibilities: maybe they got wind of... — read more 

Qualcomm Stock! I see you 👀👀👀

Anyone who is celebrating the fact that the Apple dispute is over should hold the champagne on ice. There is absolutely no logic that this is a sign of better times. Even more, with this situation behind us, it just gives the leadership more time to... — read more 

Does anybody actually think we will see fewer layoffs due to the resolution of the Apple suit? Honestly? Have people learned nothing in the past several years about how Qualcomm functions? As if it is hard for leadership to find or invent a new... — read more 

No doubt that at the end of the day, this was the best outcome of the Apple dispute. Continuing a partnership is always much better than any litigation , in my book/ But why did Apple com to his senses in this moment. Did they really see that they... — read more 

I heard they hired many excellent engineers from Q. If they do still keep it, that says to me that long term they still plan to make them in-house eventually. Does anyone know?

George is gone, SM, CA, and AR run the company again and they like to invest in people. Easter couldn't come soon enough, he is Risen!!!! Go ahead and punch a Finance guy in the b@lls next week for being a Yes Man Coward to Georgy Porgey

Hope Murthy is not coming back as new our new CEO

I have no doubt that Apple will likely attempt to sever their dependency on Qualcomm when they make eventually make their own modems (they've made incredible strides with their SoC's under Johny Srouji), but it will still be at least a few years... — read more 

We are in a phase that the dispute with Apple is not hurting us to the full degree, except maybe in the litigational sense, but I’m not talking about that. When will we feel the full effect of Apple not being a buyer of our products and how severely... — read more 

and that is a 20% upside premium from $7.5 per device. Expect at least a 20% upside in stock price upwards movement. Math says $96 but lets just round up to $100. All established anaylsts now have strong buy rating with $100 target. Next 6 years as... — read more

But you can feel a victory. David vs Goliath, we never got to the fight, but we never backed down. The principal showed up, clarified penalties, and Apple walked away. They are a classmate but certainly not a friend.

Realize that Q workers are slave to Mav q slaves work to make Mav products... Mav rules...

Cool strategy

Has the time really come when a giant company like Qualcomm has to lay people off in the name of simple cost-cutting. As a fabless company that relies mostly on knowledge, laying of experienced and knowledgeable people is a dangerous game that could... — read more 

When did we go from being a company everybody wanted to work for to a company anybody with any aspirations is doing their hardest to either run away from or avoid completely?

Man, George doesn't waste any time!

Qcom poised to take it to next level. We excited to work on innovation and leading edge tech. Not like Apple sweat shop

They lost big. 5G is the future! And QCOM future bright.

Only serious responses please. I've been debating it for awhile but now that we're buddies with them it doesn't feel like me back stabbing my teammates at qcom.

Steve right all along along peeps.

If there is truth to the rumors on this board that layoffs are coming in May, than the logical question that comes to mind is what kind of layoffs are we talking about? Are they going to be classical cost-cutting layoffs were they thin the headcount... — read more 

Heard Camera got out of cycle merit hike? Is that true?

According to two people with knowledge of the situation, another round of layoff will be coming no later than May. Also, one of the executives was being asked to leave. More to come...

And it starts this week. Follow it...

Anyone has experience with internal transfers at Qualcomm - from team to team, from group to group. I am interested to hear if this is doable at all and what the potential pitfalls may be. Thank you!
