The fact that I'm still part of this company makes me sick. Quality used to be important, especially the quality of the workforce, and now it seems as if quality is almost at the last place of interest of our leadership.

Qualcomm can't compete. A young engineer (couple of years out of school) that I worked with for a time shared with me the offer she got from a FAANG company recently. Q isn't even remotely in the ballpark as far as compensation goes.
Sad, at one time Q was the best place to work in San Diego by far. They're barely on the radar for top talent now, and they have to lower the bar. As someone else said in another older thread Q thinks they're "the sh*t" but they're not, again, not even close, and the leadership is too bloated and arrogant to acknowledge that.
I think Qualcomm will survive but there will be great pains in the process.
In one of the A's of FAANG, the quality of new hires in the last 2 years has been far from stellar. I guess hiring quality went for a toss in the pandemic bo-m. It's anyways too late to apply anyways.
Yea, it's pretty much the normal case that when you stay at Q too long, you lose your self-respect, because you know most everyone around are sh!t, and you're "choosing" to stay. The quality of the people both technically and ethically is so low that at some point you have to look in the mirror and ask yourself why you'd want to surround yourself with such filth. If you can't do better, (or at least try), then you don't deserve better.
To be fair assuming you are now in a FAANG (other than the G), have you worked with or seen the quality of new hires the last 2 years?
Qualcomm hasn’t invented a quality product in 20 years. There is nothing that is quality or innovative about Qualcomm. Since you don’t seem to comprehend this fact…. I would say your quality isn’t very high
