I wish you all the best...I have been through this in 2015 and I now realize how lucky I was to be laid off then...I was able to find a better job with better pay..
Qualcomm was awesome place to work when I first started. But culture became toxic...Directors don't do anything but sit on their asses all day and eat peanuts ..And those useless directors have absolute say so in your future. If you play golf with them, and pay a visit to their office couple of times a day to kiss their asses, then I assume you would be OK...
I still miss the teams I used to work with...There are some awesome people working there....Some of the smartest people I have worked with...It pains me to remember, some of those great Engineers reports to bunch of dumb shiiite directors can't find their way out of paper bag..I think, what needs to be cut is the management...Not individual contributors....Get rid of 600 directors and 150 VPs and QC would bounce back...Good Luck to you all...
