I left Qualcomm back in January. The toxicity was just way too much, and I had to get out. I posted about my experience here a couple of times.
I started a new job two weeks later, and honestly, it’s such a breath of fresh air. People here aren't "warm and fuzzy" or anything, but they get the job done without all the drama. It’s nice to actually feel productive and professional again in a normal work environment.
The pay here is also higher.
@cv It is lower, much lower, than other companies in the industry.
Fake post. In San Diego, Q's pay is still top-notch.
Environment at Qualcomm is so bad they should brand toxicity as QToxicEnvironment.
See? Obnoxious QPOET culture was spread everywhere!
Keep cheating. Keep stealing. QCOM is closer to 120 today, yeah! Don‘t give up! Drag it down into the shithole, where is the hometown of QPOET!
Congrats to OP, BTW.

Look, I admire the loyalty—really, I do—but at this point, you’re not just drinking the Kool-Aid; you’re straight up drowning in it.
Some of this doesn't even make sense from a basic logic standpoint anymore. It’s okay to admit the company isn’t perfect; you don't get a bonus for defending every single glitch and bad policy like it’s a divine revelation.
Say you enjoy and get paid for supporting qualcomm here. You can do this sh-t for another company and for a higher pay.
With so many engineers being laid off left and right, there's bound to be LOTS of openings. Especially for more experienced (read "older") engineers! Personally, I'm glad I'm retired.
Thanks HR.
I love it when they post these wonderful stories
to get people to leave with no severance pay.
Yeah, the current job market is wonderful.
Everybody should leave Q for a better job.
