Last year, there were rumors here that significant layoffs would take place in March. Now that it's already March, there's been no indication or confirmation of such events. In the short term, it seems like nothing is happening. However, the recent... — read more

So far, it's not looking good for Qualcomm. Apple C1 modem performs as well or better than Qualcomm modem, other than mmWave (C1 doesn't have it, but "in real-world use, you're more likely to rely on mid-band 5G" - and next Apple modems likely to... — read more 

Stock down to 2021 level, some please fire the incompetent CEO. All he is good at is storytelling, all the stories he tells us every quarter haven’t come to be true

Small layoff is coming? Or were people let go in January?. Check the WARN website it has Notice date of 1/29/25 and Effective Date 03/10/25

Congratulations senior management and executive team!

Find me a company here on thelayoff where people complain about outsourcing to india more than on this qcom board. Im waiting.

If you see any Qualcomm employees doing their realtor job using qcom resources please complain to HR.

From AHM I heard that Apple had prepared and planned for the release of 16E Qualcomm, and everything was under the control of C&A and management. At present, the impact of Apple's release of C1 baseband is controllable.

Seems like…

I wrote up what I found here: https://buildremote.co/return-to-office/qualcomm/ But if you have more information, please reach out anonymously: https://buildremote.co/contact/

The C1 Apple modem represents a significant technical breakthrough. It is the result of a multi-billion dollar investment and seven years of development. Despite this, it receives only two sentences in the press release and a brief 15-second mention... — read more 

Of course, he'll also want us to work from home on all the night meetings with the outsourcees in India

Can we still rest and vest?

If Qualcomm already has everything sorted out, why we are left out of stargate but not ARM, NVIDIA, Broadcom. And we are so good at inference that we are left out by all FAANGs over Broadcom for inference or network infra

We need to get rid of all these execs at the top. They don't know how to motivate. Too much cronyism.

heard it is another incompetent toxic team...

Just saw this posting on LinkedIn by one of our very talented Indian engineer: "" Calling all Freshers! Qualcomm is hiring for 2024/2025 passouts. I'm committed to referring 10 students per day until the position is filled! "" Wait till you see... — read more 

Hi, I'm a relatively new test engineer (about a year in) at the PMIC team that focuses heavily on bench testing and verification. I've been hearing from some colleagues that this is a "bad" path for my career, but no one has given me clear reasons... — read more 

List is getting ready.

How to handle situation where your India team has 2x the number of SD folks ? Departing (VPs and Sr.Dir) wants us to involve India team in all activities and tasks.

Reliable sources are saying, just like in previous instances, that there will be layoffs in March and again in October—two per year seems to be the new normal. Anyone see it differently?

Any shareholder who wants to save the company should do the same. CA has caused brain drain in exchange of his own gains. This is unsustainable.

Or it’s unlikely to directly challenge Qualcomm’s established position in the market, especially given Qualcomm’s integrated hardware-software approach that’s tailored for high-performance, energy-efficient industrial edge applications. The... — read more 

Anyway its losing $21 tomorrow but ai wonder if it’s going up after ER!!

When will we fire QCOM leadership, Amon , Akash , Leendert , and others needs to go else we will be in the same intimidating boat full of fear and hopelessness….

I can't believe we still have this d-mb department that produces absolutely zero value for this company and staff while actual talents are losing their jobs. The DEI director just sent another blah blah email on MLK day, right after the latest round... — read more 

There is are a lot of seagull management done at Qcom. Seagull management is a management style where a manager only interacts with employees when they suspect a problem, and then only to make hasty decisions and leave the employees to deal with the... — read more 

Just a fun rumor ... but if true it would likely involve layoffs, so this forum is appropriate. https://www.tweaktown.com/news/102670/tesla-and-spacex-boss-elon-musk-could-be-the-mystery-intel-buyer-involves-qualcomm-too/index.html
