We should be proud of CA making it to the Time100 Acute Incompetency list, yaay.
No Bonus ?
I heard directors and above will not get bonus anymore. True ? The company is changing and seems to be in big trouble. What do you think about this move ?
RTO, Question
Quick question for folks across departments—curious about your current RTO setup. Our team has known for a while that starting in September, we’ll be required to be in the office for a full 8-hour stretch each day. As it gets closer, though, I’ve... — read more
Too many managers doing nothing
There are so many people here with big titles who barely lift a finger. They cover for each other and make it impossible to clean house. If they ever got out of the way, we could probably fix a lot of problems in no time.

India and China Mend Ties Amid Trump Tariff Threats
This is who Q partners with
What a sh-t show!
Thats all I have to say
Who is this parasitic leader in US? One who contributes no value, yet thrives by feeding off his remote teams work ?
Many non-american directors and VPs in US are surviving by feeding on work of their remote teams. They have no technical, no planning, and no managerial ability. They cannot contribute to strategy and not set direction for the team. Theiremote team... — read more
Flawed Annual Review's
Our annual reviews has been corrupted into a system of favoritism.Ratings and promotions are no longer based on contribution but on connections—both personal networks and , more importantly , the networks of managers who push cases through on the... — read more
Don't sacrifice your life for this place
This idea that working yourself to the bone proves anything is completely wrong. Companies like Qualcomm push people to sacrifice personal life and health for some numbers on a report. It just leads to exhaustion and frustration. I have learned that... — read more
Does CA finally get axed?
He said he had to get axed before another mass layoff , delay of all hands screams of another big cut , or they are all so inept at managing that the are trying to rewrite the narrative ? Will the stock drop from a sell off as soon as the C suite... — read more
Struggling to get back to work
I lost my job a few months ago and landing a new role is taking way longer than I imagined. I assumed that being a solid software engineer would make it easy, especially with all the startup openings. It’s been stressful watching weeks slip by... — read more
Move to Apple if you can
I know many productive Q people went to Apple and they are in a happier workplace now. Better software guys (vs broken pensim, storage, and cloud management at Q), better managers (vs meeting-oriented at Q), competitive pay. If you wait until the... — read more
Sectarianism which bought down Intel is here
Worked in intel in the early 2010s and I get to see the same thing here in QCOM now. Hiring friends of friends ; friends son. Not sharing information, misleading on purpose. As in intel , the people who did such practices made it out unscathed.
Sell Q modem/cellular business. Focus on Auto/IoT
Only way for Q to be trillion dollar company
Layoffs around the corner?
Makes sense. A hiring freeze is a sure sign. Any updates?
CA needs to step down, Q needs a heroic CEO like Microsoft’s Satya Nadella
Nadella saved Microsoft and turned it into a 4T company.
Hiring Freeze
Are we not getting a formal written email about this hiring freeze?. Are we waiting for the all hands?
Qualcomm modem fanboys pretty quiet lately.
Used to be so much "Apple will never succeed, Qualcomm forever ! ." Now, crickets.
Nepotism in Qualcomm
Nepotism is out of control, qualcomm is routinely hiring and promoting siblings, nieces, nephews, and more recently children of managers, directors and VPs. This isn’t occasional; it’s systemic. It’s ki-ling morale, damaging trust, and sending a... — read more

Hiring Freeze, layoff is coming
Qualcomm is currently under hiring freeze, and layoff is coming soon. In the past few years, everyone in the PTE has observed a lot of the higher-ups are recruited from foundries, have been relying on KPI management, completely losing the mindset of... — read more
should we receive our ESPP on 7/31
Why I don’t see 7/31/2025 ESPP in my e*trade account? Something new I don’t know?
Management lacks foresight/direction of the tech industry. They always miss the train and play catch up..
Most folks in the management have started as an engineer and grown over the years within Qualcomm. It is difficult for them to think outside the box and come with new ideas or venture to new areas natively or through right M&As. We are always late in... — read more

Tarriffs Coming
I think President Trump is frustrated with the progress we’ve made with India but feels that a 25% tariff will address and remedy the situation
New wage rule for H1B

10% confirmed
Good luck!
Hmm, AHM scheduled 3 weeks from earnings.
You know what that means....
If layoffs... No visas
We need a law that protects US Jobs, if a company has had layoffs in the last 3 years they can’t apply for new visas for employees or take jobs oversees.
Massive hiring overseas*
Seeing a lot of overseas* new "just joined Q status" on LinkedIn. Will we see new round of layoffs in the US soon following FAANG?!
I am just venting ... Sorry!
This is not layoff related. I just wanted let off some steam. I work for the Q. But in all my past experiences, I have not seen such incompetent leads. The area truly am impediment. And after all, they get to evaluate me during the AR. Of course... — read more
