Working at Qualcomm in Santa Clara, CA: 11 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Santa Clara, CA Area

"I have worked for Qualcomm since 2018. It has a very strong technical foundation and always fosters innovation."

"I feel that I work with a lot of smart people here at Qualcomm and it is a great experience every day to learn from them. The job security is also good and the business is well-managed. However, the pay does not really compete especially if compared to SF bay area companies. Growth is getting slower due to crowding at higher levels in the company. The work-life balance isn't great either, there is a lot of weekend and late night work, almost throughout the year."

Provided my circumstances and situation help me out, I would love to work with them again at any cost. What all matters at the end of the day of your work is peace and healthy relationship, not money, where I had seen all those with Qualcomm.
