Fun Place to work if you like being used and abused.
RF Technician (Former Employee), San Diego – May 11, 2012
Pros: not bad if you are a direct hire.... good bene's, culture etc.
Cons: use people as temporary employees indefinately
Perks are one thing, but most perks are not available to many of those who are hired as temporary employees of Qualcomm. Make sure that you are not hired through a temp agency. Firstly because they dont offer any training and you are expected to know how to do the job requirements from scratch. Youre pretty much on your own as a temp. and if you get – more... sick or cant work for any length of time, pack your bags! Zero job security. This company hires hourly people and keeps them as temps for almost a year...then they let them go for two or three months without pay, hire them back for another year etc etc. I personally know RF Technicians that have been hired, laid off, and rehired as many as four times and are now in their fifth "ride" on the merry go round! These rehires get ZERO benefits and work side by side with permanent employees who get paid vactions, raises, promotions, holiday pay! If you like being a second class employee, hire on as a temp with Qualcomm. – less

The best job I have ever had and they really take care of their employees. They reward you and acknowledge all that you do. The management team is great and teamwork straight across the board.

Great organization to work for and applies to anyone from any concentration. Listed amongst the top 100 companies to work for by forbes it truly stands tall to its testimony. Good career growth, a nice healthy work environment and stability of your job.
Good pay and excellent benefits, but otherwise would not recommend
Sr. Secretary (Former Employee), San Diego, CA – February 13, 2012
Pros: pay and benefits
Cons: nepotism to the extreme!
Company pays well and benefits are excellent, but it is not a fair company. They tend to hire a lot of family members and if you're not one of them, then you don't count. Getting promoted is very inconsistent with whichever division you work for. One assistant may support 13 people and get same pay as an assistant that supports over 100 people.
Could not agree more. Titles and pay are not commensurate with workload, experience and abilities. An entry level Secretary can be supporting 40+ people, multiple VPs, 4 different high volume departments and an Executive Secretary supporting one person who is low activity gets paid thousands more and carries the higher title etc. It is all about who you know, nothing about your demonstrated abilities and impecable, award winning work performance.

Qualcomm afforded great opportunities for one to advance their career, from challenging assignments to an excellent professional development program, including on-campus training courses and even support for taking courses at the local universities.
